If the power of attorney is not signed by the client himself, it generally has no legal effect.

According to Article 165 of the Civil Code, if the power of attorney is in written form, the power of attorney shall specify the name of the agent, matters of agency, authority and time limit, and shall be signed or sealed by the client.

Paragraph 1 of Article 490 stipulates that a contract is concluded by the parties in the form of a contract, and the contract is established when the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.
