Document background
A Power of Authority Letter is essential when an individual needs to delegate legal authority to another person or entity in Singapore. This document is commonly used when the donor is temporarily unavailable, traveling, or requires assistance in managing specific affairs. The document must comply with Singapore's Powers of Attorney Act and Mental Capacity Act, requiring proper execution and witnessing. The scope can range from specific transactions to general authority, and may be temporary or lasting. This formal delegation of authority helps ensure smooth business operations and personal affairs management while maintaining legal compliance.
