Document background
The Power of Attorney Affidavit is a crucial legal document used in Hong Kong when formal verification of a power of attorney arrangement is required. This document is commonly needed when dealing with high-value transactions, overseas use of the power of attorney, or when additional proof of the arrangement's validity is necessary. The affidavit must comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements and typically includes sworn statements about the donor's identity, mental capacity, and the circumstances under which the power of attorney was granted. It's particularly important in situations involving property transactions, business operations, or when dealing with foreign jurisdictions that require additional authentication of the power of attorney. The document plays a vital role in providing assurance to third parties about the legitimacy and scope of the attorney's authority.
