Good and Valid

In the UK, the phrase most highly used for legal documentation is actually "good and valid", which is the idiomatic custom.

"GOOD AND VALID
Reliable, sufficient, and unimpeachable in law; adequate; responsible"

Personally, in native-English based texts, I have only seen the literal translation of "firm and valid" used with rates, prices and financial transactions.

Example sentence:

"If you disagree with the professionals on what is in the persons best interests, then you can make an application to the Court, but there must be GOOD AND VALID reasons for the Court to intervene."

"“… in order for all acts carried out by the representative to be GOOD AND VALID, the appointee must show a power of attorney before a resolution is passed”. "
