Simple POWER OF ATTORNEY What is it? Examples to print

The simple power of attorney is a legal document in which one person authorizes another to act on their behalf and to do so on their own behalf. In the legal field, it expresses forcefully that although the person granting the power is not physically present, it is as if he were. The scope of the acts that can be carried out by whoever has been authorized or represents him is within the same letter or legal power.

Powers of attorney or delegation of actions date back to antiquity, from the time of the beginnings of civilizations and the need to create laws. The difference was that they were generally verbal contracts. Let's remember that in ancient times a person's word had a lot of value. In Roman law it was known as a mandate. If we analyze the expression in a logical sense, it refers to a person ordering another to do something on their behalf.

Therefore, The one who commands is known as the "principal" and the one who agrees to act on his behalf is known as the "agent". In current terminology, who grants power is called "principal", who accepts it and decides to represent it and/or act on its behalf is called "proxy". Both terms mandate or power of attorney mean the same thing.

Anyway the simple power of attorney, always details the circumstances and actions of the person who will be in charge of that authority. In this way, inconveniences are avoided and the responsibility of the actions of the interested party is established.

Simple power of attorney and its requirements in Mexico

In Mexico, a simple power of attorney is the one to which the drafting is done privately with or without witnesses. Sometimes without meeting formal requirements in terms of margins and paper size, type of writing, endorsement by a lawyer, etc. It is simply a private letter or document.

Remember that a public document requires the supervision or presence of a public official who represents the Mexican State.

The simple powers of attorney are valid without the presence of a judicial representative, be it a judge, notary public or the authority that, depending on the matter, a present is required to reaffirm the veracity of what is specified in the simple power of attorney. Of course, the Mexican federal civil code allows it.

However, the federal civil code of Mexico in its article 2551 and following, establishes that for the letter to be valid it must contain the signature of two witnesses apart from the signatures of the interested parties in this mandate (principal and attorney). Be careful, this only happens when the simple power of attorney has a business interest, exceeds fifty minimum wages and does not exceed one thousand minimum wages.

Here are some simple and straightforward examples of power of attorney templates:

Maria Benitez Gonzales

Begin by writing in the upper right part the place, the date on which the power of attorney is granted, the place and the word "Present".

In the following paragraph, write "I hereby and (specify all the principal's information, full name, identification, marital status, etc.) I grant ample and sufficient special power so that jointly or separately (All the data that the person you are going to authorize) represents me and upholds all the rights and duties that I have over (there you place the matter in question specifying what the power of attorney is for).

End the letter in another paragraph with "Sincerely" and at the bottom of the document places the signatures. The order of the signatures must be as follows: first the one who grants the power of attorney, then the one who accepts it and finally the witnesses.

It has to be expressed full names below the identification and below the address so that they sign on that information. In general, the letter used here is smaller than that of the power of attorney.

The information is placed from left to right. In the lower left part the data of the principal, in the right part the data of the proxy, and right next to it the signature of the witnesses. Everyone will sign above their names so that space must be enough for it to be signed comfortably.

Ratification of power of attorney When must the simple power of attorney be ratified?

The simple power of attorney must be ratified by a judicial authority when the interest of the matter exceeds one thousand minimum wages. In this case, it would stop being a simple power of attorney and would become a public or ratified document. This guideline has been established in several countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Puerto Rico.

When the mandate is general it is because it includes all the business of the principal (that is why it is called general). The federal civil code of Mexico establishes that if it is done by means of a simple power of attorney it must contain the signature of the witnesses and must be ratified before a public authority.

When simple powers of attorney are ratified by a competent authority, they become public documents. That is, at first they are simple and then with the completion of this formality they become a public instrument.
