Summary
The intention for qurban must be specified as either obligatory (vowed) or voluntary. A person who intends an obligatory (nazar) qurban may not eat the meat, and all of it must be given to the poor and needy. Wakalah is permissible on conditions: the wording is explicit or implicit, the muwakkil consents, and the muwakkil pronounces the appointment to the agent. Qurban meat may be transferred elsewhere after being distributed evenly to the poor in the area, but it may not be given to non-Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
