- General power of attorney (Switzerland)For people in Switzerland who want a trusted person to act for them generally: contracts, payments, post, authorities, debt enforcement and, where procedure allows, court (Art. 32 ff. of the Code of Obligations, CO). Land, acts needing a public deed and gifts are excluded; settlements as you choose. It can be revoked at any time and ends if you lose capacity — for that, Swiss law has the handwritten advance-care mandate (Vorsorgeauftrag, Art. 360 ff. CC). Sign it and hand it to the person you appoint. Swiss authorities and courts work in their official language — German, French or Italian — so this English version is for dealings between private parties.
