Agent

An agent represents and is legally authorized to act on behalf of another party in transactions. The related party in a transaction is referred to as the principal. For example, an insurance agent has limited legal authority to represent and act of behalf of a principal which is the insurance company. Contracts that the agent enters into are legally binding on the principal and the agent is legally obligated to act in the best interests of the principal. An insurance agent who sells a life insurance product is acting as the legal representative of the insurance company whose products he or she is selling during the transaction, even if the agent may also represent the products of other insurance companies.
