General vs. Special Agent


Explanation:
No need for all caps.

Esp, Mex. universal agent > A person empowered to do anzthing a principal could do personally, Mex. etc. SPA> Am. ENG, West.

Note that this a General Attorney in Fact rather than an Attorney at Law and that the contrast and distinction drawn in the UK is between a General and Special Agent. Compare a Special or Federal Agent in the USA.

Example sentence(s):
  • general agent noun 1 : one employed to transact generally all legal business entrusted by a principal 2 : an insurance company agent working within a specified area
  • In the United States, a special agent or federal agent is an investigator or detective for a governmental or independent agency, who primarily serves in criminal investigatory positions.
