Document background
The Power of Attorney Contract (Vollmacht) is a crucial legal instrument in German business and personal affairs, used when one party needs to delegate authority to another to act on their behalf. This document is particularly relevant when individuals or businesses require representation in their absence, during incapacity, or for convenience in handling specific matters. Under German law, the document must comply with the provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB), especially §§ 164-181, which govern agency and representation. The document can be tailored for various purposes, from general business operations to specific transactions, healthcare decisions, or property management. It must clearly outline the scope of authority, any limitations, duration of the powers granted, and conditions for revocation. For certain applications, such as real estate transactions or establishing commercial representation (Prokura), specific formal requirements including notarization may apply.
