What does a notarial power of attorney cover?
A notarial power of attorney is a document drawn up by a notary in which a person (the principal) authorises another person (the attorney-in-fact) to perform specified legal acts on their behalf. This type of power of attorney is particularly important in situations requiring legal certainty, such as the sale of real estate, asset management or representation before public authorities and courts.
- Defining the scope of the power of attorney
The principal must precisely specify which acts the attorney-in-fact is authorised to perform. The scope of a power of attorney may include:
- representation before public authorities and courts – handling administrative, tax, court and similar matters;
- the sale, purchase, rental or lease of real estate;
- asset management – carrying out financial operations, managing bank accounts, concluding agreements.
- notarial fee – the fee for drawing up a power of attorney, the amount of which is regulated by law and depends on the type and scope of the power of attorney.
Using the power of attorney
Once the power of attorney has been drawn up, the attorney-in-fact may proceed to perform the acts specified in the document. A notarial power of attorney has particular legal force and is recognised by courts, public authorities and other institutions, which provides certainty as to the legality and credibility of the actions taken by the attorney-in-fact.
