Instead of several hundred €

for a lawyer plus certified translation

Not one language per country — both sides read the same binding version

Template shops give you a German-only or English-only version. DUOLEXX generates both in a single document, grounded in Austria civil law — the receiving party understands exactly what they sign and it stays enforceable in Austria.

Governing Language Version

This document consists of two language versions. In the event of any discrepancy or question of interpretation, the version in the governing legal language (Deutsch) shall prevail; the English version is a translation provided for convenience.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I act without authority or beyond it?
If the principal neither ratifies the transaction nor takes its benefit, you as agent (falsus procurator) are personally liable to the third party for their reliance loss, capped at their interest in the validity of the contract (ABGB § 1019). An agent who exceeds the limits of the authority is also liable for the consequences (ABGB § 1009).
Can the principal simply revoke the power of attorney?
Yes. The principal may revoke the power at any time at will. However, the principal must reimburse the agent for the costs incurred in the meantime, any damage suffered, and a proportionate part of the agreed fee (ABGB § 1020).
Is a general power of attorney enough for selling property or taking a loan?
No. Sales, onerous acquisitions, loans, collecting money, litigation, oaths and settlements require a special power of attorney (Sondervollmacht) that expressly names the category of transaction; a general or even unlimited power is not sufficient for these (ABGB § 1008).
Does a power of attorney have to be in writing?
No, not as a rule. The mandate contract can be concluded orally or in writing; written form is not a general validity requirement (Formfreiheit). The document issued about it is called the Vollmacht (ABGB § 1005).
What happens to the power of attorney if the principal dies?
As a rule the power is extinguished by the death of the principal or of the agent. Exception: if a started transaction cannot be interrupted without manifest harm to the heirs, or if the power expressly extends beyond death, the agent has the right and duty to complete it (ABGB § 1022).

Why DUOLEXX instead of just asking an AI?

An AI writes text fast. That doesn't make it legally sound, bilingual and ready to sign. That's exactly the difference.

Grounded in local law

Every document follows the law of the chosen country — researched clauses, not a generic template from the web.

Authoritative language + translation

The binding version in the legal language, alongside an understandable translation. A chat rarely delivers both, soundly, at once.

Verifiable signature

Two-party signature with a SHA-256 integrity proof — provable that both signed the same wording.

Finished, not just text

PDF, signature, archive and share link in one flow — an AI chat only hands back raw text.
