gbízott

A gbízott is a Hungarian legal term referring to an authorized representative or agent. This term is used in various contexts, including business, law, and personal affairs. A gbízott acts on behalf of another party, known as the principal, to perform specific tasks or make decisions. The authority granted to a gbízott is typically defined by a contract, often referred to as a megbízási szerződés, or by law.

The role of a gbízott can encompass a wide range of activities. For example, in a business setting, a company might appoint a gbízott to manage a particular project, negotiate a contract, or represent the company in legal proceedings. In personal matters, an individual might designate a gbízott to handle their financial affairs, manage their property, or make healthcare decisions if they become incapacitated. The scope of the gbízott's authority is crucial and should be clearly outlined to avoid misunderstandings or disputes.

The legal relationship between the principal and the gbízott is based on trust and the fiduciary duty that the gbízott owes to the principal. This duty requires the gbízott to act in the best interests of the principal, with diligence and loyalty. The principal, in turn, is generally obligated to compensate the gbízott for their services and to reimburse them for any expenses incurred while acting within the scope of their authority. The termination of a gbízott's mandate can occur under various circumstances, such as the completion of the task, the expiry of the contract, or the revocation of the authority by the principal.
