Document background
A Declaration of Authorization (Fuldmagt) is a crucial legal instrument under Danish law that enables individuals or organizations to delegate authority for various purposes. This document type is commonly used when a party needs to authorize another to act on their behalf, whether for business transactions, personal matters, or specific legal proceedings. The authorization can be general or limited in scope, temporary or permanent, and may include various levels of decision-making power. Subject to Danish legislation, particularly the Contracts Act and Powers of Attorney Act, the document must clearly outline the parties involved, the scope of authority granted, and any limitations or conditions. It's essential in situations where direct action by the principal is not possible or practical, such as during absence, illness, or when specific expertise is required. The document requires careful drafting to ensure it meets all legal requirements and effectively serves its intended purpose while protecting the interests of all parties involved.
