The Authorization Letter For Proxy is an essential legal instrument in Nigerian business and personal affairs, designed to facilitate the delegation of authority from one party to another. This document becomes necessary when an individual or entity (the principal) needs someone else to act on their behalf, whether for business transactions, legal proceedings, or personal matters. The letter must conform to Nigerian legal requirements, including those set forth in the Powers of Attorney Act of 1935 and related legislation. It typically specifies the identity of both parties, the scope of authority granted, duration of the authorization, and any limitations or special conditions. The document requires proper execution, often including witness signatures and notarization, to ensure its legal validity and enforceability within the Nigerian jurisdiction.
