Welcome to the Website of Just Powers of Attorney.
Are you or your clients buying, selling or inheriting property in Spain? We can help you with the formalities that can be carried out in the United Kingdom. We can provide:
- Power of attorney documents for those wishing to appoint a representative in connection with the purchase or sale of property in Spain. Our documents are prepared in Spanish and English for signature in front of a Notary Public anywhere in the United Kingdom. You may find that you are unable to travel to Spain to sign important documents, our dual language documents will enable your representative to act on your behalf in a purchase, sale or inheritance matter.
- Power of attorney documents for those wishing to appoint a representative in connection with the inheritance of Spanish property. You may be inheriting a property in Spain along with other family members who live in different parts of the United Kingdom. We can produce documents for each heir to sign in their locality that can then be forwarded to your representative in Spain. We also deal with the translation into Spanish, notarisation and legalisation of the British death certificate, Will and Probate.
- Legalisation (Apostille of the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961) of documents for use in Spain at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. Official documents must be legalised at the Foreign Office to make them acceptable to the Spanish authorities, we can deal with this on your behalf.
- Plain and notarised translations of documents required in connection with the purchase, sale and inheritance of Spanish property.
- Lawyer and Estate Agent contacts in the coastal regions of Spain and in London.
Inheritance matters
Many British owners of Spanish property die without a Spanish Will in place which means that the heirs to the Spanish property or their representative must produce the following to the Spanish authorities all translated into Spanish, notarised and legalised at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London (Apostille):
ü British Death Certificate
ü Will
ü Probate
Even if there is a Spanish Will in existence, the Spanish authorities will request a translated and legalised copy of the death certificate.
We can help you by making sure that you or your representative in Spain present the right documents to the Spanish authorities and thereby avoiding unnecessary delays.
