Types of power of attorney by law:

The power of attorney is divided into two types according to the method of regulation:

Ordinary power of attorney: This type of power of attorney is written between the two parties without attending the notary.
Authorized power of attorney: In this type of power of attorney, the parties appear in the notary public office and formally prepare the power of attorney. Obviously, a formal power of attorney is more valid than a regular power of attorney.
Plenipotentiary power of attorney may also be granted on a temporary basis or temporarily. If it is granted without dismissal, it cannot be dismissed by the lawyer and it will be dismissed only in special circumstances such as resignation, death, etc.

The powers of a full-fledged lawyer
