Power of attorney
مختارنامہ
Court procedure
A power of attorney is a document by which one person (the donor) gives another (the donee) authority to act for him, so that what the donee does by that authority is as effective in law as if the donor had done it.
What does Power of attorney mean in plain words?
The Powers-of-Attorney Act 1882 calls the giver the donor and the receiver the donee. The donee may sign and do things in his own name and signature by the donor's authority, and these are as effective as if the donor had done them (section 2). A person who acts on it in good faith is not liable only because the donor had died or revoked the power, if he did not know (section 3). The original document may be deposited in the High Court (section 4). The Act does not say what stamp or registration a particular power needs; check that for your purpose.
