Handwritten power of attorney is also legally binding, and the law does not stipulate that power of attorney cannot be handwritten. Handwritten printing is also acceptable, there is no specific provision, as long as it is signed by the client or printed by hand. As long as a reasonable power of attorney is signed, it generally has the legal effect of the power of attorney, but the difference is that the legal effect of the power of attorney may be different under different circumstances. Mainly depends on whether the corresponding effective procedures have been carried out to prove it, otherwise the legal effect may still be problematic. As long as it is the true intention of the parties and signed by themselves, it is valid. In terms of effectiveness, the notarized power of attorney will be more credible. The contents of the power of attorney generally include: the basic information of the principal and the trustee, the dispatched unit, the entrusted matters, the authorization authority, whether it can be delegated, the entrustment period, the signature of the principal and the signing date of the power of attorney.
