The Power of Attorney Affidavit is a crucial legal instrument in Indian jurisdiction that serves to formally delegate authority from one person (principal) to another (attorney) while incorporating the additional security of a sworn statement. This document type is particularly useful when the principal needs to provide irrefutable proof of their intentions and the attorney's authority. Common scenarios include overseas travel, medical incapacity, property transactions, or business operations. The document must comply with both the Powers of Attorney Act, 1882, and the Indian Oaths Act, 1969, requiring proper execution before a notary public. The affidavit component adds an extra layer of legal protection by having the principal swear to the truth of their statements and intentions under oath.
