know all men by these presents (power of attorney)
English to German
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
Does anyone know where to find German equivalents to the legal jargon of this type of power or attorney or the standard form of power of attorney used in the issue of shares in German?
"KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS that each person whose signature appears below hereby appoints ●, and each of them acting singly, as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact to sign in his behalf and individually and in the capacity stated below and to file all amendments (including post-effective amendments) and the same offering that may be filed under Rule 462(b), and to file the same, with all exhibits thereto, and other documents in connection therewith, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, granting unto said attorney-in-fact and agents full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in and about the premises, as fully to all intents and purposes as he might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents, or any of them, their substitute or substitutes may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof."

Excerpt from the introduction on Vollmachtmustervertraege:
Wer ein Rechtsgeschäft tätigt, wird daraus berechtigt und verpflichtet. Die Folgen des Rechtsgeschäft treffen den Handelnden, z.B. den Käufer, unmittelbar selbst. Etwas anderes gilt bei der Stellvertretung, wenn der Erklärende die Willenserklärung im
fremden Namen abgibt und damit zum Ausdruck bringt, daß die Folgen der Erklärung nicht ihn sondern einen anderen treffen sollen.
Die von einem Vertreter abgegebene Willenserklärung wirkt für und gegen denjenigen, für den gehandelt worden ist, also für und gegen den Vertretenen, wenn der Vertreter zum Zeitpunkt seines rechtsgeschäftlichen Handelns Vertretungsmacht besaß.
An einer Stellvertretung sind im Normalfall drei Personen beteiligt:
- der Vertreter, der die Willenserklärung im fremden Namen abgibt
- der Vertretene, bei dem die Rechtsfolgen der angegebenen Willenserklärung eintreten sollen
- der Dritte (Vertragspartner), mit dem das Rechtsgeschäft vorgenommen wird
Wichtige Vorschriften:
- Erteilung der Vollmacht (§ 167 BGB)
- Erlöschen der Vollmacht (§ 168 BGB)
- Wirkungsdauer der Vollmacht (§ 170)
- Vollmachtsurkunde (§ 172 BGB)
- Rückgabe der Vollmachtsurkunde (§ 175)
- Kraftloserklärung der Vollmachtsurkunde (§ 176)
- Genehmigung eines Vertragsschlusses ohne Vertretungsmacht (§ 177 Abs. 1 BGB)
- Haftung eines Vertreters ohne Vertretungsmacht (§ 179 BGB)
- Insichgeschäft (§ 181 BGB)

Comment: "Thanks greatly for your help, though in the end I had to make up my own wording as the web references only dealt with more common contracts containing a more simplified language of authorisation. It's quite a task, after umpteen pages of financial text to end up with antiquated legal jargon right at the end, and I had hoped to polish off the document by utilising similar gibberish in German usage. In the end I had to settle for a translation of the meaning. Thanks again."

Hiermit wird allen kundgetan, daß
Hallo,
Die Übersetzung für "know all men by these presents" lautet "Hiermit wird allen kundgetan, daß..." Because legal jargon is very much dependant on the country of origin, I doublt that you can use a standard German phrase as a translation. A search for "Hiermit wird allen kundgetan" did not lead to any results, meaning that German attorney use a different jargon. You might however contact the below mentioned links, as they offer qualified legal advice and should be able to help you. Or you inquire at a bank.
