Document background
The Authorization Letter to Claim (Vollmacht zur Forderungseinziehung) is a crucial document in Austrian business and legal practice, used when an individual or organization needs to delegate the authority to collect debts or claims to another party. This document becomes necessary in situations such as debt collection, insurance claim processing, or when the principal is unable to personally pursue claim collection. It must comply with the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) requirements and may require notarization for certain types of claims. The document typically specifies the exact scope of authority, claim details, duration of the authorization, and any limitations on the agent's powers. It serves as legal proof of the agent's authority to act on behalf of the principal in matters related to the specified claims.
