Sheria inahitaji mtu awe na uwezo wa kuelewa na kufanya maamuzi kwa hiari, bila shinikizo.

法律要求授权人具备理解相关事项并自愿作出决定的能力,且不得受到不当压力或胁迫。

3. KUPITIA HIARI, BILA KULAZIMISHWA/ GIVEN VOLUNTARILY, WITHOUT COERCION/ 自愿作出,不受胁迫

授权必须由有关人员自愿作出,不得通过胁迫、欺骗或欺诈手段诱使其授予权力。


4. UWEZO WA KISHERIA /LEGAL CAPACITY/ 法律行为能力

Mtoa mamlaka lazima awe na uwezo wa kisheria wa kufanya shughuli hiyo, yaani awe mwenye haki ya kumiliki mali au kufanya vitendo vya kisheria.

The grantor must have the legal capacity to undertake the relevant transaction, meaning that they must have the legal right to own the property or perform the relevant legal acts.

授权人必须具备进行相关交易或行为的法律行为能力,即必须具有拥有相关财产或实施有关法律行为的合法权利。

Mtu asiye na uwezo wa kisheria (k.m. mtoto chini ya umri, au mtu aliye chini ya ulinzi wa sheria) hawezi kutoa Power of Attorney.

A person who lacks legal capacity, such as a child below the legal age or a person under legal protection, cannot validly grant a Power of Attorney.


不具备法律行为能力的人,例如未达到法定年龄的儿童或受到法律保护限制的人,不能有效授予授权委托书。

5. UWEPO WA UTAMBULISHO SAHIHI/ VALID IDENTIFICATION/ 有效的身份识别

Ingawa si sifa ya moja kwa moja ya mtoa mamlaka, ni muhimu kuwa mtu huyo anatambulika kwa usahihi kupitia cheti cha kizalendo au hati nyingine rasmi.

Although this is not a direct qualification of the grantor, it is important that the person is properly identified through a birth certificate or another official identification document.

虽然这并不直接构成授权人的资格要求,但必须通过出生证明或其他正式身份证明文件准确确认授权人的身份。

Hii husaidia kuzuia migogoro ya utambulisho na kuhakikisha kuwa hati inatolewa na mtu sahihi na kwa uaminifu.

This helps prevent identity disputes and ensures that the instrument is executed by the correct person in a genuine and trustworthy manner.

这有助于防止身份争议,并确保授权文件由正确的人真实、自愿且可信地签署。


6. KUELEWA MAANA YA HATI/ UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF THE INSTRUMENT/ 理解授权文件的含义

Mtoa mamlaka lazima aelewe maana ya Power of Attorney, aina ya mamlaka anayotia, na matokeo yake kwa mali na maslahi yake.

The grantor must understand the meaning of the Power of Attorney, the type and extent of authority being granted, and its consequences for their property and interests.

授权人必须理解授权委托书的含义、所授予权力的种类和范围,以及该授权对其财产和利益可能产生的后果。

Hii ni muhimu ili kuhakikisha kuwa mtu huyo anatoa mamlaka kwa ufahamu kamili na kwa nia ya hati.

This is important to ensure that the person grants the authority with full understanding and genuine intention.

这一点非常重要,以确保授权人是在充分理解和真实意思表示的基础上授予权力。

请注意


✓ Ikiwa mtoa mamlaka hana sifa hizi, hati ya Power of Attorney inaweza kuwa batili au isiyotekelezeka.

✓ Ni vyema kupata ushauri wa mwanasheria kabla ya kuandaa au kusaini hati ya Power of Attorney.


✓ If the grantor does not possess these qualifications, the Power of Attorney may be invalid or unenforceable.

✓ It is advisable to seek legal advice from a lawyer before preparing or signing a Power of Attorney.


✓ 如果授权人不具备这些资格,授权委托书可能被认定为无效或无法执行。

✓ 在制定或签署授权委托书之前,建议先寻求律师的法律意见。
