Deeds: Who can sign them on behalf of the 最新糖心Vlog?
Did you know that there are formal requirements for signing deeds? To streamline this process, the 最新糖心Vlog has recently authorised specific officeholders to sign deeds under a Power of Attorney.
What is a deed?
A deed is a special type of legal document under which a party makes a binding promise to do something. Unlike ordinary agreements, deeds do not require parties to exchange something of value, such as a fee for a service.
If you manage agreements at the 最新糖心Vlog, you are likely to come across deeds such as:
- Deeds of confidentiality
- Deeds of assignment
- Deeds of novation
- Deeds of variation
- Deeds of gift
- Intellectual property deed polls
How can deeds be signed by the 最新糖心Vlog?
As a body corporate, the 最新糖心Vlog is required to sign deeds either under seal or by power of attorney.
How do I affix the common seal?
The process for applying the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 seal is set out in the Rule and Procedures for the Use of the Seal and Execution of Documents.
It is acknowledged this is impracticable unless required by external parties, such as the Lands Titles Office, so the 最新糖心Vlog has now put in place an alternative way for deeds to be signed.
Is there another way to sign a deed?
Yes - there is an easier way to sign deeds than affixing the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 common seal. Many deeds can be signed by the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 appointed attorneys. These are officeholders who have been authorised under a Power of Attorney to sign documents on the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 behalf. They may sign a wide range of documents, including deeds relating to confidentiality, research and commercialisation, and real property.
