The Authorization Note (Vollmacht) is a crucial legal instrument in Austrian legal practice, used to delegate authority from one party to another. This document is essential when an individual or entity needs someone else to act on their behalf, whether for specific transactions, general business operations, or personal matters. The authority granted can range from limited specific powers to broad general powers, and the document must comply with Austrian Civil Code requirements. Typically used in situations such as business transactions, property dealings, administrative proceedings, or when the principal is unavailable or unable to act personally. The document must clearly specify the scope of authority, duration, and any limitations to ensure proper understanding and enforcement under Austrian law.
