Document background
The Notary Letter of Authorization is a crucial legal instrument in Swiss business and personal matters, used when formal delegation of authority is required. This document is particularly important in Switzerland, where notarial acts carry significant legal weight and must comply with strict cantonal and federal requirements. It is commonly used for real estate transactions, business operations, administrative proceedings, or personal matters where one party needs to legally act on behalf of another. The document must be executed before a Swiss notary public and typically includes detailed identification of all parties, specific powers granted, duration of authority, and any limitations. International use may require additional authentication through the Apostille process, as Switzerland is a signatory to the Hague Convention.
