That process starts with issuing the power of attorney to impose mortgage right upon an object of mortgage for the old creditor. The assumption arises that the owner of the collateral does not have authority to sign such power of attorney without the prior written consent from the old holder of mortgage right. Another assumption is that in the implementation of burdening mortgage right with the power of attorney to impose mortgage right upon an object of mortgage is not in accordance with the law or legal procedure.
