Document background
The Authorization Letter To Act On Behalf is a crucial legal instrument in Austrian business and personal matters, fundamentally governed by the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB). This document becomes necessary when an individual or entity needs to delegate authority to another party to act on their behalf, whether for specific transactions or general representation. The letter must clearly outline the scope of authority, temporal limitations, and specific powers granted to the representative. Common use cases include business transactions, property dealings, administrative procedures, and personal matters where direct action by the principal is not possible or practical. The document must comply with Austrian formal requirements, which may include notarization for certain types of transactions. International usage may require additional formalities such as certified translations or apostille certification.
