Power of Attorney in Spain – Full Guide for Foreign Property Buyers
Want to buy a property in Spain but can’t be here in person? No problem. With a Power of Attorney (POA), R E C can help you complete the entire process safely, legally, and without travel stress.
What Is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney (Poder Notarial) is a legal document that allows someone you trust to act on your behalf in legal or financial matters in Spain.
Why Use It for Property Purchases?
If you are buying from abroad and can’t be in Spain for each step of the process, this is the easiest and safest way to:
- Sign reservation and purchase contracts
- Open a Spanish bank account
- Obtain your NIE number
- Appear before a notary and sign the final deed (escritura)
- Set up utility contracts after purchase
Is It Safe?
Yes, absolutely – when done correctly. POAs are a standard legal tool in Spain, and at R E C, we only work with trusted, fully registered legal professionals.
How Do You Get One?
You can issue a POA by:
- Visiting a notary in Spain (we arrange the appointment)
- Going to the Spanish consulate in your home country
- Signing before a local notary abroad, then legalising the document (apostille)
Why Use R E C?
We coordinate the entire process with legal representatives, ensure your document is valid, and keep you updated every step of the way.
You stay home. We handle everything.
