English term

power of attorney

English to French Law/Patents Business/Commerce (general)
Hello!

I checked the glossary, but it says "procuration" and I'm not quite sure whether it's appropriate or not. In my case, it's about authorizing other parents to take care of their child temporarily.
Is there any equivalent in French? I'm in need of a sample document also.

Merci beaucoup!

Une procuration ou un pouvoir donnent des pouvoirs definis, parfois restrictifs, et peut eventuellement concerner des soins de sante... Il appartient, au cas par cas, de definir l'etendue et les limites de la procuration ou du pouvoir.
Sylvie Updegraff Jun 22, 2007:
Yes, I would also say procuration ou pouvoir. Je ne vois pas d'autres termes possibles.
Nadine Kahn (asker) Jun 22, 2007:
It's supposed to be the title. It isn't included in the text.
AllegroTrans Jun 22, 2007:
If you have not got your answer from the asker notes, you need to paste in the actual text so that we can have a look at the precise context
Nadine Kahn (asker) Jun 22, 2007:
http://www.publiclegaled.bc.ca/section.asp?catid=139&subid=1... "Une procuration ne donne pas l'autorisation au fondé de pouvoir de prendre des décisions concernant vos soins de santé. Elle porte uniquement sur les affaires financières et juridiques." - Perhaps "Pouvoir en cas d'un accident"?
Monique Laville Jun 22, 2007:
I would say procuration or pouvoir too.
John ANTHONY Jun 22, 2007:
Procuration ou Pouvoir

Not necessarily to another "parent", but to another person.
Nadine Kahn (asker) Jun 22, 2007:
Hi! :) It's used to transmit all rights of a parent to another parent "attorney-in-fact". I have the English version, but I'm confuzzled about the French equivalent. Mainly, it's about decisions about the medical care for their minor child in a foreign country.
Sokratis VAVILIS Jun 22, 2007:
a power of attorney enables your legal representative to do something on your behalf. In this case, this is a procuration.
In your document, who gives the authorisation? for what reason this power of attorney is used?
Nadine Kahn (asker) Jun 22, 2007:
BTW Wiki says "Contrat de mandat".

Garde ou tutelle

Dépend des pouvoirs : s'il y a transfert de l'autorité parentale = tutelle, sinon garde. Liens équivalents sur des sites canadiens.

contrairement à ce que l'exemple pourrait laisser penser, la tutelle peut bien évidemment n'être que temporaire (et s'appliquer à d'autres que des enfants).
Something went wrong...
