Power of Attorney in Nepal: Legal Framework, Types, and Procedure

Power of Attorney in Nepal: Legal Framework, Types, and Procedure

In Nepal, the Power of Attorney (PoA) is governed by the Muluki Civil Procedure Code 2074, allowing individuals to delegate legal authority to another person for various tasks. The law defines the qualifications for an attorney, the two types of PoA—General and Authorized Power of Attorney—and the required documents for issuance. It covers the procedure for authentication by court judges or consular officials, termination conditions, and frequently asked questions. With provisions to handle property transactions, legal claims, and court cases, this legal tool ensures efficient representation, especially for those abroad.
