Power of Attorney in Spain: Act Without Travelling
Many foreign heirs and property owners need to deal with Spanish legal procedures — inheritance, sale of a property, dealing with banks or paying tax — but cannot easily travel to Spain. In these situations, a well-drafted Power of Attorney in Spain (Poder Notarial) becomes the key to moving everything forward.
We prepare and manage Spanish Powers of Attorney for foreign clients, ensuring they are valid, correctly worded and accepted by Spanish notaries, banks, registries and tax authorities. You sign in your own country; we act locally in Spain on your behalf.
The result is a practical, legally secure way to manage your Spanish affairs remotely, whether you are an heir, a co-owner, an executor or an investor.
Our Expertise in Spanish Powers of Attorney
Our legal team has extensive experience drafting and using Powers of Attorney in Spain for non-residents. We regularly assist clients who need to:
- Sign inheritance documents before a Spanish notary without travelling.
- Sell inherited or holiday property in Spain through a local representative.
- Deal with Spanish banks to unblock accounts, redeem mortgages or transfer funds.
- Handle tax filings and registrations with Spanish authorities on time.
We coordinate the wording of the Power of Attorney with the specific procedures you need, so that once it is granted, it can actually be used effectively in Spain.

If you are unsure whether a Power of Attorney is the right solution, you can contact us and we will explain the options in plain English.
A Spanish Power of Attorney turns distance into a practical, manageable solution.
We help you sign once in your home country, and then handle the work on the ground in Spain — so your inheritance, sale or legal procedure can move forward without unnecessary trips, stress or delays.
