Appointeeship - FAQ's

Can there be more than one appointee?

No. Unlike Lasting Power of Attorney agreements, or court deputyship orders, there can only legally be one appointee in place for an individual. Of course, this does not mean that the appointeeship cannot be transferred if it becomes necessary. Simply put, there just cannot be more than one party at a time actively making decisions on behalf of an individual.

This logic does not strictly carry over for corporate appointees. With organisations providing appointeeship services (such as Money Carer), there may be multiple people making these key decisions. In this instance, the organisation itself becomes the acting body, operating with increased expertise to ensure a first-class service.
