Who can be the legal representative? What rights and obligations do you have?

Citizens, legal persons and other civil subjects, regardless of whether they have civil capacity, can generally act as agents and conduct civil activities through agents. However, people with no capacity for civil conduct and people with limited capacity for civil conduct can only become the principal in the legal agency relationship or designated agency relationship, and obtain civil rights and set civil obligations for themselves through their legal agents or designated agents.

1. According to Article 58 of the Civil Procedure Law, the parties and their legal representatives may entrust one or two persons as agents ad litem.

The following persons may be entrusted as agents ad litem:

(1) lawyers and grassroots legal service workers;

(2) Close relatives or staff members of the parties concerned;

(3) citizens recommended by the community, units and relevant social groups where the parties are located.

2. The agency authority of an entrusted litigation agent comes from the entrustment of the parties, legal agents or legal agents, so an entrusted litigation agent can only conduct litigation within the scope authorized by the client. Only when an agent conducts litigation within the scope authorized by the principal can the legal consequences of his actions be borne by the principal.

3. The rights of the parties in litigation can be divided into two categories: one is substantive rights or litigation rights closely related to substantive rights, such as recognizing, waiving and changing litigation claims on their behalf; The other is a pure litigation right or a litigation right that is not closely related to substantive rights, such as applying for withdrawal.
