Power of Attorney for Legal Representatives – for Administrative Matters and Court
Do you need to authorize someone to represent you in a specific legal matter? This template package contains two separate powers of attorney under Swedish law: one for administrative and contractual matters, and a specific litigation power of attorney. These include Swedish and English versions, two comprehensive guides, and an Excel register for case tracking.
What is included in the package
- Power of Attorney for administrative and contractual matters – Swedish DOCX and PDF.
- Litigation Power of Attorney according to Chapter 12 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure – Swedish DOCX and PDF.
- English administrative Power of Attorney and Litigation Power of Attorney – DOCX and PDF. Both are governed by Swedish law.
- User guide in Swedish and English User Guide – DOCX and PDF.
- Case and authorization register in Excel – XLSX with status selection, time tracking, data validation, and overview.
Total: 13 downloadable files (6 DOCX, 6 PDF, 1 XLSX), packaged in a ZIP file. The new ZIP delivery can be added by the shop separately.
What are the powers of attorney used for?
1. Representative at an authority or with a contractual party
Document who the representative is, which organizations are involved, what the representative is authorized to do, any financial or time limits, sub-authorization, and reporting requirements. The Administrative Procedure Act allows authorities to request that a representative provide proof of their authority and specify what information such a power of attorney must contain.
2. Litigation representative at a Swedish court
For court proceedings, specific rules apply under Chapter 12 of the Code of Judicial Procedure. Therefore, a separate litigation power of attorney is provided with clear guidance on the representative's name, the scope of the case, signature, specific limitations of authority, and revocation. The court assesses whether the representative is suitable.
Important to know
This is not a "framtidsfullmakt" (enduring power of attorney). An enduring power of attorney has different purposes and formal requirements according to the Act (2017:310). A standard power of attorney does not generally need to be witnessed or notarized, but specific documents and recipients may have their own requirements. For written litigation powers of attorney, special rules regarding signatures and originals apply.
A standard power of attorney does not automatically expire in all situations when the principal dies; Section 21 of the Contracts Act contains specific rules. Nor does a litigation power of attorney necessarily cease solely due to the death of a party (Chapter 12, Section 19 of the Code of Judicial Procedure).
How to use the templates
- Select the administrative/contractual power of attorney or litigation power of attorney based on the assignment.
- Fill in the parties, matter, powers, and conditions in Word.
- Go through the specific guide and check the recipient's formal requirements.
- Sign appropriately and submit the document to the relevant recipient.
- Follow up on the case in the Excel register and document revocation if necessary.
When do you need other help?
For property transfers, major transactions, bank dispositions, criminal cases, custody issues, conflicts of interest, disputes, or international matters, a special power of attorney, other authorization, or personal legal advice may be needed. The bank or authority may require its own form.
Frequently asked questions
Can a friend be a legal representative?
In some matters yes, but for litigation representatives, the court must deem the person suitable and specific obstacles may exist.
Does a power of attorney need to be witnessed?
Not generally for a standard power of attorney. However, check the current type of document and the recipient's requirements. Enduring powers of attorney (framtidsfullmakter) have specific witness requirements.
How is it revoked?
How a revocation becomes effective depends on the type of power of attorney and how the power of attorney was communicated. Retrieve originals where necessary and notify the representative and relevant recipients. For litigation powers of attorney, the rules in Chapter 12, Section 18 of the Code of Judicial Procedure apply.
Is the English version valid in the USA or the UK?
No. It is an English-language version governed by Swedish law, intended for Swedish conditions.
