If a Lasting Power of Attorney is jointly run by 3 people do decisions have to be unanimous or is a 2-1 majority enough?
Thanks

It depends on how it is set up
"If there’s more than one attorney
If you’re appointing more than one person, you must decide if they’ll make decisions:

separately or together - sometimes called ‘jointly and severally’ - which means attorneys can make decisions on their own or with other attorneys
together - sometimes called ‘jointly’ - which means all the attorneys have to agree on the decision
You can also choose to let them make some decisions ‘jointly’, and others ‘jointly and severally’.

Attorneys who are appointed jointly must all agree or they can’t make the decision."
