There are situations when we cannot do certain actions on our own. For example, sell or buy an apartment, obtain documents, open a bank account. In this case, a Power of Attorney issued to a person we trust helps out. This person can do all the actions on our behalf.
In the event that these actions need to be performed abroad, a Power of Attorney issued in Ukraine must be prepared in a certain way. Otherwise, the document will not be valid, which means the trustee will not be able to manage your property, finances or act on your behalf.
In what cases is it necessary to translate a Power of Attorney?
In Ukraine, a Power of Attorney is drawn up by a notary in the state language. In this form, the document is valid only in our country. In order for a Power of Attorney to acquire legal force abroad, you must:
- make translation;
- affix a consular stamp or apostille;
- in some cases, notarization is required.
Only after going through these steps you can use the document in another country. It all depends on your goals. This can be a Power of Attorney, which allows you to dispose of an apartment, house, car, including selling or renting them. A Power of Attorney may be required to open an account in a foreign bank or prepare documents.
It is not always possible to personally resolve these issues, so a Power of Attorney helps in such situations. The people you trust will do everything for you. A Power of Attorney is also issued for issues related to business and work. An employment contract or other constituent documents may serve as the basis here.
