  2.      The text of the POA should be as accurate as possible and full details should be included. For example, in the bank POA, include the name of the bank, the name and code of the branch, and the account number. Also, in the POA for the sale of the property, it is necessary to include the registration number that mentioned in the ownership document.

  5.      According to Article 210 of the Civil Law of Iran, the parties must have legal capacity. Therefore, people who are under 18 years age or are amnesiac, or for some reason do not have the necessary awareness to recognize their interests, are not qualified to enter into a POA.
