Original: vermögen
A German financial news article is drawing attention to a common legal misconception: spouses cannot automatically act on each other's behalf, even with a marriage certificate. Without a power of attorney, partners may be unable to manage assets, sign documents or handle banking matters if one becomes incapacitated.

Why now: Growing interest in estate planning and asset protection is making Germans question what legal rights marriage actually confers.
