A power of attorney (mandate) (in Maltese ‘prokura’) is a legal instrument by virtue of which a person authorises another person to carry out certain acts on his behalf. A power of attorney may either be general which means that the mandatory is authorised to carry out any act in the name and on behalf of the mandator, or special which means that the mandatory will only be able to carry out any one or more acts on behalf of the mandator as expressly stipulated in the power of attorney.
