Special Power of Attorney Online

It is a legal document that grants another person (attorney-in-fact) the ability to act on your behalf only for a specific or limited procedure. Unlike a general power of attorney, which grants broad powers, a special power of attorney restricts the attorney-in-fact's actions to what is expressly detailed in the document.

A special power of attorney limits the attorney-in-fact's actions exclusively to what is expressed in the document (for example, selling a specific property). A general power of attorney grants broader powers for multiple procedures (asset management, general legal representation, etc.).

A special power of attorney offers greater control and security to the principal, as the attorney-in-fact can only perform the specific procedure.

Any person over 18 years of age with legal capacity to act on their own can grant a special power of attorney. The principal must:

• Be of legal age
• Have full legal capacity
• Act voluntarily and consciously
• Have a valid DNI, NIE, or passport

To process your special power of attorney online you need:

• Valid DNI, NIE, or passport of the principal
• Identification data of the attorney-in-fact (full name, DNI/NIE)
• Clear description of the specific procedure for which the power is granted
• Digital certificate or Cl@ve for electronic signature
• Stable internet connection for the video conference

The complete process is done in less than 24 hours from when you send the documentation. The video conference with the notary takes approximately 30 minutes, and you receive the signed document the same day or the next business day.

In urgent cases, we can expedite the process even further. Contact us to find out about immediate availability.

Yes, powers of attorney granted before a licensed notary have full legal validity throughout Spanish territory. The document can be used in any autonomous community without additional procedures.

Yes, the special power of attorney can be used abroad, but it may require a Hague Apostille or consular legalization depending on the destination country.

The apostille is required for countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention. For other countries, legalization through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the corresponding consulate is required. We can advise you on the specific procedure for your case.

Yes, you can modify or extend a power of attorney by means of a new notarial deed that modifies the original content. You can also revoke it at any time by granting a revocation deed before a notary.

It is important to notify the attorney-in-fact of the revocation and third parties who may have an interest (banks, registries, etc.) so that it has immediate practical effects.

The cost depends on the complexity of the power of attorney and the notarial fees established by law. Our service includes complete management, coordination with the notary, and support throughout the process.

Absolutely. The notarial granting procedure by video conference is regulated by law and meets all legal security requirements:

• The notary verifies your identity through a digital certificate
• It is verified that you are acting voluntarily and consciously
• The communication is secure and encrypted
• The document has the same validity as one granted in person

Since a special power of attorney clearly limits the attorney-in-fact's powers to a specific procedure, the margin for abuse is very limited. If the attorney-in-fact acts outside of what is authorized, their actions lack legal validity.

If you detect improper use, you can revoke the power of attorney immediately and take the corresponding legal actions. The notary always advises on the limits and controls of the granted power of attorney.

No, you can process your special power of attorney from anywhere in the world. You only need an internet connection, your digital certificate, and availability for the video conference with the notary during Spanish hours.

This service is especially useful for residents abroad who need to carry out procedures in Spain without traveling.
