Power of attorney for a specific act (France)
For asking someone to do one specific thing in your place when you cannot be there: collect a document, sign a lease or a contract, sell or buy a vehicle, represent you at an appointment. You describe the act, and the power covers that act only, until the date you choose (articles 1987 and 1989 of the French Civil Code). A voting proxy is made free on maprocuration.gouv.fr, and, for an act before a notary, the notary provides the power of attorney required. Signed by the principal, with a copy of their ID.
Proxy for a co-owners' general meeting (France)
For a co-owner in France who cannot attend the general meeting of the building and wants to be represented. The French proxy names the proxy holder, the meeting and its date, says whether the vote is free or follows your instructions and whether the holder may pass the proxy on, and recalls the limits of art. 22 of the French law of 10 July 1965: at most three proxies unless within 10 % of the votes, and never the managing agent or its relatives or staff. Signed and handed to the holder.
General power of attorney for one's affairs (France)
For handing the day-to-day running of your affairs to someone close during an absence, a hospital stay or a stay abroad: paying bills, collecting income, dealing with public offices. Written in general terms, it covers acts of administration only (article 1988 of the French Civil Code); selling or giving away property needs an express power. To arrange your own protection in advance should your faculties decline, the mandat de protection future (Cerfa 13592 or a notarial deed) is the route the law provides. Signed by principal and agent, in two copies.
