Looking to simplify your legal processes and grant someone the authority to act on your behalf? At Law Manthan, we provide comprehensive Powers of Attorney (POA) services in Nepal to help you navigate legal matters with ease. From drafting and notarizing to legal counsel, we ensure every detail aligns with Nepalese laws and your specific needs.

What is a Power of Attorney (POA)?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that authorizes another person (referred to as the "attorney-in-fact" or "agent") to act on behalf of the principal. This legal tool is particularly useful in situations where the principal is unable to be present or lacks the capacity to make decisions due to personal or professional reasons. Powers of Attorney can be used for various purposes, including financial transactions, property management, and legal representation.

Types of Powers of Attorney in Nepal

Understanding the types of POA available in Nepal is essential to choose the one that fits your needs. Here are the main categories:

1. General Power of Attorney (GPA): Grants broad authority to the agent to handle multiple legal, financial, and property-related matters.
2. Special Power of Attorney (SPA): Limits the agent’s authority to specific tasks, such as selling a property or representing in a court case.
3. Durable Power of Attorney: Remains valid even if the principal becomes incapacitated.
4. Medical Power of Attorney: Authorizes the agent to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the principal.

Why You May Need a Power of Attorney in Nepal

Nepalese individuals and businesses often require a POA for:

• Property Transactions: Selling, buying, leasing, or managing property.
• Court Representation: Authorizing a lawyer or representative to act in legal disputes.
• Business Operations: Allowing partners or employees to handle company matters.
• Financial Transactions: Managing bank accounts, tax matters, or investments.
• Medical Decisions: Granting authority to make healthcare choices during emergencies.
