How to Sell a Property Remotely in Spain – With Power of Attorney
Not in Spain but need to sell your property? With a legally prepared Power of Attorney (POA), you can complete the entire sale without flying in. At R E C, we handle this process from start to finish — legally, securely, and efficiently.
1. Can You Sell Without Being in Spain?
Yes. You can authorize a trusted representative (usually a lawyer) to handle everything on your behalf — from contracts to final notary signature.
2. What Is a Power of Attorney (POA)?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives someone the right to act on your behalf. In property sales, it typically includes:
- ✔️ Accepting offers and signing contracts
- ✔️ Representing you at the notary
- ✔️ Cancelling your mortgage (if any)
- ✔️ Receiving sale funds into your Spanish account
- ✔️ Managing final utility and tax obligations
3. How Do You Sign a POA from Abroad?
- 📍 Visit your nearest Spanish consulate, or
- 📍 Sign before a local notary and legalize the document (apostille)
- 📥 Send original POA to your legal representative in Spain
4. Security & Trust
We work exclusively with independent lawyers who act in your name — not the buyer's. Everything is documented, insured, and backed by Spanish law.
5. Can I Use the Same POA for Other Tasks?
Yes — the same Power of Attorney can often be used to:
- ✔️ Cancel bank accounts
- ✔️ Receive funds and transfer money abroad
- ✔️ File tax declarations after the sale
