Hola, Estoy traduciendo un exhorto internacional, en donde una persona es acusada de enriquecimiento ilícito y le piden a EEUU que le congele las cuentas bancarias y les brinde detalles y en esta parte no sé cómo traducir "apoderados"... Representative? Proxy? Attorney-in-fact?

"Así también se estima pertinente solicitar que informen si ******** registra otros activos en ese país: bienes muebles registrables, inmuebles, cuentas bancarias (ya sea como titulares, cotitulares, apoderados o firmantes, e incluyendo tipo y número de identificación del producto) e inversiones (títulos, acciones, oro, etc)"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your answer. It seems to em that this term is almost always associated with the representation or safekeeping of a minor or incompetent person, isn't it? Sound odd in this context.

I think this answer is equally general as apoderados. The other answers are possible, but more specific.
