What is a Power of Attorney Used For?

The Power of Attorney in Honduras is a legal document through which a person (the “grantor”) gives authority and power to another person (the “attorney-in-fact” or “representative”) to act on their behalf and carry out certain legal procedures, actions, or specific tasks in Honduras. This document grants the representative the legal capacity to make decisions and take actions on behalf of the grantor, in situations where the grantor cannot be physically present or prefers to delegate their responsibilities.
