Law/Patents - Law (general) | | English term or phrase: dual power of attorney | | A dual power of attorney is where you have two people handling the affairs of the principal (the person who created the power of attorney). Having two people named as agents in a power of attorney allows for each one to double check the other to make sure the affairs are handled properly. |

1 hr confidence: pouvoir(s) conjoint(s) de gestion financiere / pouvoir(s) financier(s) conjoint(s)
Explanation:
This should be joint decision-making power on money-related/financial issues, c'est a dire pouvoir conjoint en materiere de decisions financieres
in French, I propose
pouvoir(s) conjoint(s) de gestion financiere / pouvoir(s) financier(s) conjoint(s)
I hope this helps, at least as a starting point
