Power of Attorney for Signing Checks and Credit Instruments

It depends entirely on your decision. You can grant an unlimited power or establish specific amount restrictions, either per individual operation or cumulative limit in a given period.

We recommend establishing limits when delegating to employees or third parties, reserving larger operations for your personal signature. This offers operational flexibility while maintaining control over significant transactions.

Yes, as long as those powers are expressly included in the notarial power. You can authorize only signing, or expand the powers to include endorsement, collection presentation, acceptance of instruments, or even protesting non-payments.

During document drafting, we will specify exactly what operations the agent can perform according to your operational needs.

A properly drafted notarial power issued by a licensed notary has full legal validity throughout Spain. Banking entities are obligated to recognize it in accordance with current regulations.

In exceptional cases where an entity requires specific formats, we can handle additional legalizations or adaptations. Our notaries guarantee that the document meets all legal requirements for universal acceptance.

Yes, absolutely. As principal, you can revoke the power at any time through a notarial deed of revocation, which we also handle online.

The revocation takes immediate effect once formalized. We recommend simultaneously notifying banking entities and the agent to prevent improper use after cancellation.

You, as principal, are legally responsible for all acts performed by the agent within the limits of the power granted. Instruments signed by the agent have the same legal effect as if you had signed them personally.

That is why it is essential to grant this power only to people of maximum trust and establish clear action limits. The agent acts on your behalf but patrimonial responsibility falls on you.

No. Our service is specifically designed for people who cannot physically travel to a notary office. Through secure video conference and digital identification systems, you can grant the power from anywhere in the world.

You only need an internet connection, a device with a camera, and your digital certificate or valid electronic identification method.

The complete process is usually done in less than 24 business hours. Once we receive your request and documentation, our notaries draft the customized power and we coordinate the signing video conference according to your availability.

After signing, you immediately receive the document in digital format with complete legal validity. If you need additional copies or specific legalizations, we can handle them in the same timeframe.

Yes, you can designate multiple agents in the same power or through separate powers. You can establish that they act jointly (all must sign) or individually (anyone can sign).

It is also possible to grant different levels of powers to different agents: for example, one with a €5,000 limit and another with a €20,000 limit, adapting to your organization's responsibility structure.

This power is specifically designed for signing checks and credit instruments (promissory notes, bills). If you need to authorize broader banking operations such as transfers, account openings, or direct debits, you should consider a power for general banking operations.

We can advise you on which type of power best suits your specific needs, or combine powers in a single comprehensive notarial document.

A simple bank authorization is only valid at the specific entity where it is formalized and generally with limited scope. A notarial power for signing checks and credit instruments has universal legal validity before any entity, court, or third party.

Additionally, the notarial power allows broader actions: endorsing instruments, presenting them for collection at different banks, protesting, or managing operations with third parties. It offers greater flexibility and legal security for complex commercial operations.
