Document background
A Power of Authority Letter is commonly used when an individual or organization needs to delegate authority to another party to act on their behalf. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, is essential in situations where the donor cannot be present to handle specific matters or wishes to authorize another party to manage certain affairs. The Power of Authority Letter must clearly specify the scope of authority, duration, and any limitations, while complying with relevant legislation including the Powers of Attorney Act 1971. It can be used for various purposes, from handling specific transactions to managing broader business or personal affairs.
