Vakolatnomalar

Vakolatnomalar are a set of legal and administrative norms that govern the delegation of authority from one person to another to act on the delegator’s behalf. They define who may grant such authority, what acts may be performed, the scope and duration of the authority, and the consequences if the agent exceeds or abuses their power. These norms seek to balance autonomy with accountability and to ensure predictable results in personal, financial, and organizational affairs.

The scope of vakolatnomalar typically covers personal matters such as property management and financial transactions, guardianship or care duties, and corporate representation. They distinguish between general powers that permit a wide range of acts and specific or limited powers that restrict the agent to defined tasks.

Creation and termination: Vakolatnomalar are usually formalized in writing, with requirements varying by jurisdiction; some forms may require notarization or registration. The document specifies the agent’s powers, any exclusions, and the period of validity. The principal can revoke the authorization at any time before it ends; death, loss of capacity, or fulfillment of the specified condition also terminates it.

Liability and administration: Agents have a duty to act in the principal’s best interests, exercise care, and keep records. They may be liable for breach of duty, fraud, or mismanagement. Proper oversight, verification, and timely revocation help mitigate abuse.
