A power of attorney is the right of another person, legally enshrined in the form of a document, to carry out certain actions for the person in whose name the power of attorney is issued. Modern civil procedural legislation allows citizens to conduct court cases through representatives, but for this it is necessary to issue a power of attorney to the court.
It is necessary
- - the text of the power of attorney;
- - personal data of the trustee (the one who grants the rights and obligations);
- - personal data of the trustee (the one who receives the rights and obligations of the trustee);
- - the signature of the principal.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure the person you choose can be the trustee. So, in court your interests can be represented by the following persons:
• legal representatives (parents, guardians, adoptive parents), • lawyers who have been appointed by the court, • capable citizens who have received a power of attorney for representation.
Step 2
Execute and notarize the power of attorney. To do this, contact a notary office. You must have with you not only your own details, but also the personal data of the person you entrust to represent your interests in court proceedings - this is the last name, first name, patronymic, passport data, sometimes - information about the position and place of work.
Step 3
Determine the range of actions that you can entrust this person. The power of attorney may include a complete or short list of procedural actions, all or part of which are transferred to the representative.
Step 4
Decide and record in the power of attorney the presence or absence of the right of the representative to entrust his rights and obligations to third parties on the basis of the drawn up power of attorney.
Step 5
Determine the duration of the power of attorney, during which the representative will have the rights and obligations determined by the interests of the principal.
Step 6
In the absence of the specified period, by default, the power of attorney is considered valid within 12 months after its certification. The maximum possible validity period for this document cannot exceed three years.
