Clear authority, carefully documented
A power of attorney should be easy to understand before it is signed.
Louisiana calls this legal relationship a mandate. Under Civil Code Article 2989, a principal gives a mandatary authority to transact one or more affairs on the principal’s behalf.
Rouge prepares mandate documents around the authority the client wants granted, coordinates the execution requirements, and provides the signing appointment in a clear, organized process.
Common mandate needs
