About this template
Power of Attorney for Court and Government Authority Matters – Word/PDF
This power of attorney template is intended for situations where a person needs to authorise a representative to act on their behalf in specified court, administrative or government-authority matters in Sweden.
What the power of attorney can specify
- the principal and representative,
- the court, authority or matter covered,
- which documents may be submitted or received,
- whether the representative may sign or make statements,
- limits and conditions on the authority,
- period of validity and signatures.
Define the mandate precisely
The scope of the authority should be written clearly so that the representative and the recipient understand what actions are authorised. Avoid granting broader powers than necessary for the intended matter.
Check court or authority requirements
Some proceedings and authorities use their own forms or require original documents, identification, special wording or other supporting material. The template should therefore be adapted to the specific recipient and process.
Format and delivery
Formats: Word (DOCX) and PDF.
Legal context: Swedish law.
