Carta poder simple

Spanish to English Law/Patents Finance (general)
El inversor debera participar en la junta previamente indicada a fin de suscribir las accions correspondientes, para lo cual bastara que designe a un representante mediante carta poder simple...


I know it is Power of Attorney, but how do we say "simple" in English legal terrms?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

A little bit late but for subsequent questions related to this term, I do agree with Charles in this context simple means not notarised.
Charles Davis Dec 5, 2012:
My understanding is that "simple" means it is not notarised. I don't think it refers to the scope of the powers granted.
philgoddard Dec 5, 2012:
Asker "Simple" is the same in Spanish and English.

power of attorney (document)

Declined
I would say that it's just a power of attorney. You might want to add the word "document" for "carta". Hope this helps.

limited power of attorney

Declined
the terms for POA (US) are either limited or general.

Most of the time they are limited to a specific situation, otherwise a general POA gives broad powers, such as in the case of someone not being able to care for them self.

A simple power of attorney letter

Declined
You need to include the "simple" to differentiate this standard power of attorney from a limited power of attorney.

"simple" is definitely not "limited", although "general" is acceptable.

agree philgoddard : The "letter" isn't really necessary.

Non-notarized power of attorney letter

There are a lot of sites in Spanish that explain the difference between a "carta poder" and a "poder notarial". It seems clear to me. And I don't think that "non-notarized" is absolutely essential, so you could go with Edward Tully's answer too.
