English term or phrase: attorney-in-fact vs agent
Perché in una procura legale US fino a un certo punto usa "agent" e poi inizia con "attorney-in-fact"?

(P-1) I grant the following supplemental authority to my agent(s):
The powers granted under (A) and (B) above are enlarged so that all fixtures and articles of personal property....
(P-2) My attorney-in-fact has the unrestricted power to act....

opterei per procuratore (agent) e procuratore di fatto (attorney-in-fact) o no?

rappresentante legale/procuratore
Explanation:
AGENT sta ad indicare una persona munita di poteri per lo svolgimento di determinati affari (come l'agente, il procuratore, il commissionario, l'institore, il preposto, ecc).
Qualora all'agent siano attribuiti anche poteri di rappresentanza (POWER OF ATTORNEY), come sembra in questo caso, diventa un ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
Quest'ultimo si distingue dall'ATTORNEY-AT-LAW che negli USA è colui che è abilitato alla professione legale.
Eviterei l'espressione DI FATTO che sembra alludere all'esercizio di una carica della quale non si è stati formalmente investiti, come nel caso del falso procuratore.

Explanation:
Dai link sotto riportati, i due termini sembrano coincidere perfettamente.



Example sentence(s):
  • When you create a Power of Attorney, you give another person to legally act for you under the provisions of the Power of Attorney. In legal terms, that person is called an agent or Attorney in Fact.
  • the person named to make decisions on your behalf is called an “Attorney-in-Fact” (otherwise known as an Agent)
