Lasting POA question re. replacement attorney

Posts: 1,512 Forumite
My sister and I have drafted a lasting POA for my father. It specifies myself and my sister as attorneys, acting jointly for some matters, and jointly and severally for other specified matters.
We want to name my nephew as a replacement attorney, to step in for either one of us in the event that either of us is unable to act. From reading information on rejected POA applications in the past, it appears that this specific arrangement is not permissible - i.e. that a single replacement attorney must assume sole POA in the event that either of the two original attorneys becomes unable to act (i.e. to the exclusion of the surviving original attorney).
I was wondering if anyone here had successfully registered a Lasting POA where a replacement attorney was specified to step in for EITHER of the original attorneys, where the terms of the POA were as above (i.e. original attorneys acting jointly in some matters and jointly and severally for other matters)?

sorry, but I think you are making this unnecessarily complicated. just nominate ONE person who could take over from both of you. or either of you.0

Actually it's pretty simple - we just want to nominate one person who can take over from either one of us.0
