Note, an \"attorney-in-fact\" is NOT AN ATTORNEY

Random House:

at·tor·ney-in-fact (Ã tûrÆn\" in faktÆ), n., pl. at·tor·neys-in-fact. Law.
a person authorized by power of attorney to act on the authorizer\'s behalf outside a court of law.

Another source that defines \"attorney-in-fact\":

ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
A competent and disinterested person who is authorized by another person to act in his or her place.


So, following West as the source, an \"apoderado\" is not necessarily \"attorney\" and should NOT be translated as such.

I never did quite figure out was meant here, so I adapted it it a bit. "is stated" did not quite fit (and was used a number of times in the text. "Arm"...I have no idea, it was definitely not part of the person's name. Michael your info on "apodeerado" was quite useful...ran across it many times in other sections, and almost translated it as "attorney." Thanks for the help, all.
