A power of attorney is a transfer of your authority to another person or organization. Such a document can be obtained by both a legal entity and an individual.

Such a document is drawn up in any form by hand or by computer typing.

The document should contain paragraphs that fully disclose its purpose. Namely:

• Title. Usually, this is the name of the document itself.
• What and how should the trustee do. Be sure to indicate the date of writing the power of attorney, otherwise the document will not enter into force.
• Details of the one who trusts and the one who is trusted. If this is an organization, you should specify the details of the company. If an individual, passport data (usually these are the first, second pages and registration).
• What rights do you transfer to a trusted person. That is, what exactly can be done on your behalf by a person to whom you have entrusted the solution of a particular issue.
• The period during which the document is legally valid (not always).
• The signature of the one who trusts.

If everything is simple with individuals, then with legal entities it is more difficult. A little. Why? Just legal entities can transfer their powers to both other legal entities and individuals. The main difference is in the form. Consider a sample standard document for the transfer of a power of attorney from a legal entity to a legal entity. Certification by a notary is necessary if the authorized person will:

• make transactions on behalf of the company for contracts requiring notarization;
• perform actions within the framework of the rights recorded in the State Registers (for example, the sale of a land plot);
• have the right to file applications for state registration of ongoing transactions (for example, with real estate).
