Now for many of our fellow citizens the issue of Powers of attorney is relevant. At the same time, the document is needed for use on the territory of Ukraine. In this article we will tell you how to correctly execute a Power of attorney abroad.
In what cases is a Power of attorney required?
In simple terms, this document is needed when you need to perform a certain action, but you cannot do it, for example, because you are in another country. In this case, you can entrust this to another person, most often a relative. A Power of attorney confirms that another person can act on your behalf in your interests.
The simplest example: you want to sell an apartment in Ukraine. Now you are in Europe, you do not have the time or opportunity to come to the country to resolve this issue. In this case, you issue a Power of attorney to a person you trust. With this document, your trusted person can sell the apartment on your behalf. In this case, the deed will have an official status, since there is a Power of attorney from the owner of the property in Ukraine.
Situations when a Power of attorney is needed:
- sale, purchase, lease of a house, apartment, commercial real estate, land;
- for a car;
- in case of representation in court;
- in case of submission or receipt of documents.
These are the most popular cases, there are other situations.
How to issue a Power of attorney abroad?
To do this, it is enough to contact a local notary. You independently draw up the text of the Power of attorney in Ukrainian, prepare it in advance. A foreign notary confirms the authenticity of your signature, which you will put on the document. A foreign notary cannot certify the contents of the Power of attorney due to lack of knowledge of the language.
To use the document in Ukraine, you need to make an apostille. Then the Power of attorney can be sent to the person for whom the Power of attorney is issued. But in Ukraine, it is necessary to make a translation of the notarization and apostille. To do this, you just need to contact Kyiv Regional Translation Agency.
