What is Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (PoA) is a crucial legal document that allows one person to act on behalf of another in legal or financial matters. In Pakistan, Powers of Attorney are often used in matters such as property transactions, business management, or personal legal representation, especially when the principal (the person granting the PoA) is unable to be present. At PK-Legal and Associates, we offer expert legal assistance in drafting Powers of Attorney tailored to meet your specific needs.

Types of Powers of Attorney in Pakistan

Before we delve into our process, let’s understand the two main types of Powers of Attorney:

  1. General Power of Attorney (GPA)
    This grants broad powers to the attorney-in-fact, allowing them to perform any legal or financial actions on behalf of the principal.
  2. Special Power of Attorney (SPA)
    This is limited to specific actions, such as representing the principal in a single transaction, like selling property.
