When buying or selling a property abroad, it can be challenging to be present for every step of the transaction. Fortunately, a Power of Attorney (POA) can be used to appoint someone to represent you. However, to make the power of attorney legally binding in a cross-border real estate transaction, it needs to be notarized.

A power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone else the authority to act on your behalf. It is commonly used in real estate transactions where the buyer or seller is not able to be present physically. The person appointed by the power of attorney can sign documents and make decisions on behalf of the buyer or seller.

Notarizing a power of attorney means that a notary public certifies that the document is authentic and legally binding. The notary public will also verify the identity of the person signing the document and ensure that they are signing it voluntarily.

In cross-border real estate transactions, notarizing a power of attorney is essential to ensure that the person appointed has the legal authority to act on behalf of the buyer or seller.

It is especially important when dealing with different legal systems, as the requirements for a power of attorney may vary.
