I'm pleased to read that it's going well. Just one point bothered me given that both you and your sister get on wel with each other and you parents.
I will have sole PoA as my sister lives too far away to be of any use in day to day matters. She is fine with this.
I live a long way away but the solicitor who drew up the documents thought it preferable to have both of us if we were willing. The important POA decisions aren't day to day matters.
Then it’s pretty much water tight… something scrawled in crayon on a napkin after that fact would struggle to hold up in contest.
IIRC a will handwritten unwitnessed that simply said " all to mum" held up in court
It also seems strange to me for the spouses not to be listed as each others’ attorney. I’d have thought things like welfare decisions would be more naturally taken by the spouse if possible rather than by one of their children. (Listing the attorneys jointly and severally means that the child can take over primary responsibility as and when required). But that’s for the OP and their parents to think about.
