A Durable Power of Attorney is only effective while the person granting it is alive.
Agents can be added to a Durable Power of Attorney by another agent only if the Durable Power of Attorney says that it can. Most do not.
Who is the principal, the person who named you and your brother to act for him or her as agents under the Durable Power of Attorney? That person can sign new Durable Power of Attorney, revoking the old one, and naming the new agents.
