Maybe this is where employing a solicitor to complete the PoA would be worth the extra cost. You could discuss with an expert the best way to achieve what you want to do.

Your other comment about having a car accident is not relevant. Lasting PoA only applies to the living.

People survive car accidents. Put your seat belt on. :-)

@m@Malthusian Of course they do - but that wasn't the point you were making when you said "...because if you die in the same car accident..."
You also said "If two attorneys appointed jointly and severally disagree, they countermand each other until the courts sort it out" which isn't accurate either. Let's say one attorney wants to sell my shares and the other disagrees, there's nothing the latter can do to stop the former going ahead and making that trade there and then.
