Allow signatures with the abbreviation “i. V.”

However, particularly in the case of corporate groups, individuals authorized to sign are often not authorized to act on behalf of the company based on a power of attorney or an entry in the commercial register, but rather act on the basis of a power of attorney.

In such cases, the person must include the abbreviation “i. V.” (on behalf of) before their name when signing, so that the representation is clearly indicated.
