Except in an emergency, an agent cannot handle affairs beyond the authorization of the principal, let alone handle affairs in his own name. Therefore, unless otherwise provided by law, the land registration agent handles the agency affairs in the name of the client, and the final result, whether favorable or unfavorable to the client, shall be borne by the client. (II) Obligatory land registration agent who undertakes the transaction expenses shall handle the affairs as instructed by the principal, and the necessary expenses incurred by the land registration agent in the process of handling the affairs shall be borne by the principal. When the client authorizes the land registration agent to handle the affairs, the expenses for handling the affairs can be solved in two ways: 1. Prepaid expenses.
