An authorization is a document that is given from one party to another, allowing them the legal right to do what is specified. Authorizations can be used for a variety of reasons, but they can mainly be found in legal and governmental dealings.
In this case, we are using the authorization example used in the state of New York for the board of elections for party nomination for a political election. Examples of authorizations can also be found online or through legal help services.
The first step in filling out your authorization is to gather all of the information you will need to supply.
1. In our example, you will need to fill in all of the appropriate names who need to authorize the vote. The presiding officer and secretary names should be entered.
2. Next, the political party and subdivision need to be entered twice in the 4 empty spaces.
3. The fifth line requires that you fill in the date the political vote has taken place, including month, day, and year.
4. Lines 7 and 8 require that you fill in the name and contact information of the candidate that is authorized to represent the party. Include his or her name, address, and the office for which the candidate is nominated.
5. Again, the date must be provided and the signatures of the two authorizing members, the president and secretary, must be signed at the bottom.
6. In this authorization, a notary public must certify the document, providing the date, their signature, and the notary stamp. The notary must also include the names of the two authorizing agents, again in this example the president and secretary.
7. Note that the notary must witness the signatures on the document. Not all authorizations will require a notary certification, check with your local rules to determine if your authorization will require such a certification.
A complaint is a legal pleading filed in a civil court case that establishes the plaintiff’s case against all named defendants. The complaint is used to both provide the court with notification and basis for the case while also providing notice to the defendants that a case has been filed against them.
In this case, we are using the complaint example used in the state of Arkansas for a lawsuit filed in small claims court. Examples of complaints can also be found online or through legal help services.
The first step for filling out your complaint is to provide the case caption information at the start of the document.
1. You must provide the court name you are filing the complaint, along with any docket information you may have if the case is connected to another civil case.
2. Next you must provide your name, as the plaintiff, and the names of any other individuals you may be representing as co-plaintiffs, such as minor children or dependents.
3. You must next provide the name and address of the defending parties. For a small claims case, this is usually only one party; however, civil lawsuits can often include multiple defendants, all of whom need to be named in the complaint in order to be brought into the case.
4. In our example, you must provide the type of claim you are making, the amount of money you are seeking from the defendant, the date that the event of your claim occurred, and a short explanation of your claim.
5. While only a few lines are provided in the example small claims complaint, you may add additional pages connected to your complaint, detailing the reasons for your claims and listing why you believe your claim is valid.
Provide your signature and address at the bottom of the complaint form and submit your complaint to the court.
6. After your complaint is submitted, the Judge will certify the complaint and the complaint will be sent to the defending parties.
7. Once the defending parties receive notice of the lawsuit and provides an answer, a court date will be given and the case will begin. If the defendant fails to answer to the complaint, a default judgment may be given, which allows you to begin the collection process.
