If you are dealing with property in Spain, you may want to give your Spanish lawyer power of attorney to sign documents on your behalf. The power of attorney document will be prepared by your Spanish lawyer in both English and Spanish and emailed to you for signing before a notary in the UK.
A power of attorney is a very important legal document. You are giving permission for someone else to sign documents on your behalf. It is essential that you have good communication with your lawyer and that you give clear instructions regarding what should be signed and when.
In order to notarise the power of attorney, you will need to attend an appointment with a notary. You will be asked to produce your passport and proof of address and confirm that you have read and understood the document. You will then sign each page of the power of attorney in front of the notary and the notary will also sign, seal and bind the document. We will then send it to be “apostilled”, which is official confirmation from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office that the notary signature and seal is authentic. Finally, we will courier the document to your lawyer in Spain.
To book an appointment with a notary complete an enquiry form and we will respond to you straight away.
