What is an authorized signatory? Simply put, an authorized signatory or signer is a person who's been given the right to sign documents on behalf of the authorizing organisation. However, the term's meaning and interpretation seem to vary significantly across different jurisdictions and industries.

The proper way to sign as an agent is to first sign the principal's full legal name, then write the word "by," and then sign your name. You may also want to show that you are signing as an agent by writing after the signature: Agent, Attorney in Fact, Power of Attorney, or POA.

Below your signature will usually be the name and position of the intended signee. If you are signing something formal with the express authority of the intended signee, put 'p. p' before your signature, as it will advise the reader that you are signing on someone else's behalf.

For most people, the best option is to have a general durable power of attorney because it gives your agent broad powers that will remain in effect if you lose the ability to handle your own finances. An attorney can customize a general POA to limit powers even more?or add powers, Berkley says.

Using the initials ?p.p.? before your signature on behalf of the individual you're signing for, indicates that the signature is being procured (that is, on behalf of another with permission). To indicate that you are signing under procuration; type or handwrite the letters just to the left of your signature.
