A Procuration Letter is a crucial legal instrument used in Hong Kong when an individual or entity needs to delegate authority to another party to act on their behalf. This document, governed by Hong Kong's Powers of Attorney Ordinance (Cap. 31), serves as a formal power of attorney that clearly outlines the scope of delegated powers, whether general or specific. The Procuration Letter is commonly used in situations where the grantor requires representation in business transactions, property dealings, or personal matters, particularly when they are unable to be physically present or wish to delegate specific responsibilities. It must include detailed information about both parties, explicit powers granted, duration of authority, and must be properly executed with witnesses. The document can be either general or limited in scope, and may be time-limited or continuing, depending on the grantor's requirements.
