Powers of Attorney.

Powers of attorney are a crucial legal tool that allows the principal (the holder of the rights) to authorise someone else to act on his/her behalf in various legal, financial and administrative matters. Their proper drafting and management is essential to ensure the validity and force of the resulting acts. The different types of powers of attorney and the cases in which the intervention of a notary is required are explained in more detail below.

General Powers of Attorney

General powers of attorney authorise the representative to act for a wide range of actions involving both legal and financial matters. They are often used when the principal wishes to grant broad powers without detailing each action separately.

Special Powers of Attorney

In contrast, special powers of attorney specify specific actions or matters for which the principal authorises the representative. These are particularly useful when it comes to specific transactions or procedures, such as selling a property or managing certain financial affairs.

The drawing up and authentication of the power of attorney before a notary ensures:

The legal validity of the document.

Ensuring that the provisions are clear and precise.

Recognition by third parties, such as banks or public authorities, that require official documents to carry out transactions.

Personalised Proxy Tailoring to the Needs and Requirements of the Client

Each case has its own particular characteristics, and that is why proxies need to be tailored to the individual case:

The principal can clearly define the scope of the powers he or she grants, whether they are general powers or specific, limited actions.

By tailoring to the client's needs, each power of attorney can be designed to fully meet the requirements and specific circumstances of each case, providing a reliable and legally binding tool for the representation and management of the client's affairs.
