A Power of Attorney is a written authorisation to represent or act on another's behalf in private affairs, business, or other legal matters. The person authorising the other to act is the principal, grantor, or donor (of the power). The one authorised to act is the agent or attorney or, in some common law jurisdictions, the attorney-in-fact. A power of attorney can be either a general or a special power of attorney.
What services can our Commissioners for Oaths provide for my change of name deed?
Our solicitors and Commissioners for Oaths in Birmingham can draft your Change of Name Deed and/or witness your signature as a professional witness. A deed poll is a legal document that proves a change of name. We can provide our services for both enrolled and unenrolled change of name deeds.
