What type of power of attorney do you need?
For your notarial power of attorney for procedures to fulfill its purpose, it is essential to identify the correct type. All our powers include: Document drafting, Signing by the parties, Notarization and the Apostille if required for international use.
1. General Power of Attorney
It is the broadest power. It grants the attorney-in-fact (the person you give the power to) the authority to act in your name for almost any type of legal or administrative procedure, such as property administration, bank accounts, or judicial representation, without a specific limitation.
2. Special Power of Attorney
This power (also known as Simple Power of Attorney) is limited and specific. It only allows the attorney-in-fact to perform the act or set of acts that are strictly specified in the document. Common examples include:
- Power for sale, purchase or mortgage of a specific property.
- Power to collect an inheritance or pension.
- Power for representation in a particular lawsuit.
