Revocation of a power of attorney (Romania)
The notice by which the person who gave a power of attorney in Romania revokes it. A principal may revoke a mandate at any time (art. 2031 of the Civil Code), but the revocation binds the agent from receipt, and third parties only once it has been brought to their notice or they knew or could have known of it. That is why the letter asks for the power of attorney back and lists the offices and people who have been told.
Cohabitation agreement between partners (Romania)
The written agreement between two partners in Romania who live together without being married: the legal title to the home, how costs are shared, what belongs to each, how things bought together are divided, and how long they have to settle up after separating. Romanian law has no registered partnership, so without such an agreement none of this is written down anywhere.
Special power of attorney (Romania)
The power of attorney for one specific act in Romania: collecting a document, representing someone at an office, signing a contract, receiving a payment. It describes the act exactly, the limits of the authority, whether the agent may deal with themselves or appoint a substitute, and until when it is valid. For acts that need notarial form — selling a home, for example — the power of attorney must be notarial too.
General power of attorney (Romania)
The power of attorney by which a person in Romania authorises someone else to handle their property and affairs — payments, everyday contracts, dealings with suppliers and offices. Under the Civil Code, a general power covers only acts of preservation and administration; sales, mortgages and lawsuits need a special one. Signed privately it is valid, but banks and notaries often ask for a notarised one.
Freedom of information request (Romania)
The request by which anyone in Romania obtains information from a public body about its work — spending, contracts, decisions, organisation — without having to say why (Law no. 544/2001). The body answers within 10 days, 30 at most if the information is complex, and a refusal must be reasoned within 5 days. The request says in what form the answer is wanted.
