Granting your representation upon another person (power of attorney)

A power of attorney granted before Notary grants the authorised officer to act as your legal representative with full efficacy within the area of powers granted in any country world-wide. The efficacy is such that, in Spain, even though the power has been recalled, if the copy is not withdrawn, the authorised officer may continue to act to your detriment.

Hence the importance of technically and specifically defining the combination of powers granted and finding out about their respective effects. The Notary will advise you about all these points, and also the steps to follow to obtain international legitimitation if you want the document to be effective outside Spain.

Approximate cost of a power of attorney: 40$ USA.
