Possible legal consequences of the signature of the agent on behalf of the principal.
Lawyer's analysis

If the proxy signature has no legal authorization or exceeds the scope of authorization, the legal consequences arising from the proxy signature shall be borne by the actor. The agent has actually signed the signature in the name of the principal within the authority of the agent. The principal shall bear civil liability for the agent's agency behavior.

Article 171 of the Civil Code stipulates that if the actor still acts as an agent after he has no power of agency, exceeds his power of agency or terminates his power of agency, it will have no effect on the principal without ratification by the principal. The counterpart may urge the principal to ratify it within 30 days from the date of receiving the notice. If the trustor fails to declare it, it shall be deemed as refusal to ratify it. Before the act committed by the actor is ratified, the bona fide counterpart has the right to revoke it. Revocation shall be made by notice. If the act committed by the actor is not ratified, the bona fide counterpart has the right to demand the actor to perform the debt or demand the actor to compensate for the damage he has suffered. However, the scope of compensation shall not exceed the benefits that the counterpart can obtain when the principal ratifies. If the counterpart knows or should know that the actor has no right to act as an agent, the counterpart and the actor shall bear the responsibility according to their respective faults.
