The nominee collects income and revenue from the execution of business transactions related to the property on behalf of the owner. The Nominee agreement requires the nominee to transfer to the owner all financial instruments and proceeds of transactions made in the course of normal business activities. As a condition of the agreement, the candidate assumes no responsibility and is not responsible for the performance of contracts between the owner and a third party. In real estate, the Nominee contract can effectively transfer the legal ownership of a property to another person. The agreement also explains what can happen to the property and how to manage the benefits and responsibilities of that property. It can also indicate when or under what circumstances the property can be returned to the original part. As a general rule, ownership is not given indefinitely to the other person. All parameters necessary to perform the planned tasks must be defined as part of the Nominee agreement. It will expressly give the candidate the power to do certain things. It may also set explicit limits that determine how far a candidate can go on behalf of the other party in his or her business activities. The payment of the nominee is also stipulated in the contract. The contract will likely also include a validity date and an expiry date. As with all contracts, nominating agreements require different things.

The first thing that requires agreement is an offer and acceptance by two separate parties. The agreement must also be implemented and signed by the competent parties, i.e. those who, in their jurisdiction, are not minors, are not in a state of demonstrable mental illness or under the influence of a substance likely to affect the judgment. You must enter into agreements with your candidate if you wish to receive such documents and participate in a vote and vote at general meetings. The entry of agents and agents as voting shareholders is subject to the application and conclusion of an agreement setting out entry restrictions and advertising obligations imposed by the agent or candidate. Anonymous participation as a shareholder nominee (shares held by “third parties”) is no longer permitted due to the change in the Law on Shares in Austria. Although regulators and stock exchanges regularly check nominee accounts, the process is not done on a daily basis. Because a stockbroker can postpone or sell Nominee account shares at any time, there can be fraud. This is particularly common when a company is on the verge of bankruptcy and needs cash or assets to cover its debts.
