Power of attorney (Estonia)
A power of attorney lets another person act for you in a matter you name: collecting a document, dealing with an office or signing in your place. It says exactly what they may do and until when.
Who signs
- The person giving the power
- The person receiving it, if they sign to accept it
What you fill in
- Both people — names, personal codes and addresses
- What they may do — the matter and the acts, as exactly as you can
- Until when — the end date, or the matter it ends with
- Passing it on — whether they may hand the power to someone else
What the document covers
Who gives it and to whom
The person giving the power and the person receiving it.
What they may do
The acts the person may do for you, and nothing beyond them.
How long it lasts
The date or the event on which the power ends.
Passing it on
Whether the person may give the power to someone else.
Ending it early
How you take the power back before it ends, and how you tell the people concerned.
Signatures
The person giving the power signs with Smart-ID; the person receiving it may sign too.
Before you sign
- Some acts need a power of attorney made at a notary, such as selling property and some bank and court matters.
- Ask the place where it will be used whether a qualified e-signature is enough.
