In Lithuania Civil Code Article 2.132 states that individuals have the right to transact through their representatives, but there are also a kind of transactions which can not be made through their representatives. These transactions, which, because of their special nature of legal entities can only be performed personally (the formation of marriage, probate formation, etc.), and other laws of the transactions.

Representing is significant when the person is unable to function independently because of a physical disability, lack of capacity, as well as the necessary knowledge and skills shortages.
