Document background
The Power of Authority Letter is a crucial legal instrument in Saudi Arabia used to delegate specific powers from one party to another. It must be drafted in accordance with Saudi law and Sharia principles, requiring careful consideration of local legal requirements and customs. The document is commonly used for various purposes including business transactions, property dealings, court representations, and administrative matters. It typically includes detailed information about both parties, specific powers being granted, duration of authority, and any limitations on the attorney's powers. The document requires proper authentication through official channels, usually involving notarization by a Saudi notary public. For international use, additional steps such as Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication may be necessary. The format and content must be precise as Saudi authorities closely scrutinize powers of attorney to ensure they meet all legal requirements.
