Document background
Letters of Authority are essential legal instruments used in Ireland to delegate specific powers from one party to another. These documents are particularly crucial when an individual or organization needs to authorize another party to act on their behalf for specific purposes, whether financial, administrative, or operational. The document must comply with Irish legal requirements, including the Powers of Attorney Act 1996, data protection regulations, and relevant common law principles. Letters of Authority typically specify the identity of both parties, the exact scope of authority granted, duration of the authorization, and any limitations or conditions. They are commonly used in business transactions, financial matters, property dealings, and various administrative procedures where formal delegation of authority is required. The document's format and content must be sufficiently detailed to be accepted by third parties while maintaining clarity and legal enforceability under Irish law.
