Power of Attorney
A power of attorney (POA) or letter of attorney is a written authorization to represent or act on another's behalf in private affairs, business, or some other legal matter. It is a faculty from one person to another, either a person or any legal entity formed in Ecuador, to act on their behalf. It is also an authorization from a citizen abroad granting another person or legal entity, located in Ecuador, to act on their behalf. There are two types: be general or special. A general Power of Attorney allows the agent (person granted the POA) to make all possible legal actions on behalf of the principal/grantor. A special Power of Attorney includes only the specific purposes. It is recommended to act for a back up document (minuta).
