A Power of Attorney lets you appoint someone to handle your legal and financial matters in Denmark. This trusted person, called an 'attorney-in-fact' or 'fuldmægtig' in Danish law, can sign documents, manage bank accounts, or make important decisions on your behalf.

Under Danish legal framework, you can create either a general Power of Attorney covering all affairs, or a specific one limited to certain tasks like selling property or managing a business. The authority ends if you become mentally incapacitated, unless you've set up a special 'fremtidsfuldmagt' - an enduring power that continues even after loss of capacity.

You need a Power of Attorney when someone must act on your behalf in Denmark but you can't be physically present. Common situations include buying or selling property, handling business operations during extended travel, or managing banking transactions while abroad. Danish businesses often use these powers to delegate authority for specific projects or transactions.

The timing matters - setting up a Power of Attorney before leaving Denmark helps avoid delays and complications. Many Danish banks and property transactions require original signed powers, which can take weeks to arrange from overseas. For aging parents or those with health concerns, arranging a 'fremtidsfuldmagt' early ensures smooth handling of affairs if capacity diminishes.

A Power of Attorney differs significantly from a Certificate of Authority in Danish legal practice. While both documents involve delegating rights to act on behalf of others, they serve distinct purposes and carry different legal weights.

• Legal Scope: Power of Attorney grants specific individuals authority to act on personal or business matters, while a Certificate of Authority typically validates an organization's or officer's right to conduct business in specific jurisdictions
• Duration and Flexibility: Powers of Attorney can be temporary or ongoing, with adjustable scope, while Certificates of Authority usually remain fixed until formally amended
• Usage Context: Powers of Attorney work for personal matters like property sales or healthcare decisions, while Certificates of Authority focus on corporate capacity and regulatory compliance
• Verification Process: Powers of Attorney require witnessing and sometimes notarization, while Certificates of Authority need official government or regulatory body validation
