Document background
The Authorization Letter to Act on Behalf is a crucial legal instrument in Irish business and personal matters, designed to facilitate the delegation of authority from one party (the principal) to another (the agent). This document is commonly used when an individual or organization needs someone else to handle specific matters on their behalf, whether due to absence, incapacity, or convenience. The letter must comply with Irish legal requirements, including those set forth in the Powers of Attorney Act 1996 and related legislation. It typically includes essential details such as the identities of both parties, the specific powers being granted, any limitations on those powers, and the duration of the authorization. The document can be used for various purposes, from simple administrative tasks to complex financial or legal transactions, and may require different levels of formality depending on its intended use and the requirements of the institutions that will rely on it.
