An Authorization Letter Special Power of Attorney is a crucial legal instrument in Hong Kong's business and personal legal framework. It is commonly used when a principal needs to delegate specific, limited authority to another person (the attorney) for particular transactions or actions, such as property dealings, contract signings, or specific business operations. This document type is distinct from a general power of attorney as it restricts the attorney's powers to explicitly stated matters. The document must comply with Hong Kong's Powers of Attorney Ordinance (Cap. 31) and related regulations, requiring proper execution, witnessing, and potentially notarization depending on its intended use. It's particularly valuable in situations where the principal cannot be physically present to handle specific matters or wishes to delegate authority for specialized transactions while maintaining control over the scope of delegated powers.
