Verified reviews of this service

Yes, you can grant a general power covering all M&A operations (mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, restructurings) or limit it to a specific operation.

During drafting, we customize the document according to your needs: if you only need to authorize a specific acquisition, we delimit the powers to that operation; if you prefer a broad power for multiple future operations, we include all necessary powers.

It is not legally mandatory, but it is highly recommended that they be a professional with knowledge in corporate operations.

You can appoint any trusted person with legal capacity (adult with full legal capacity). However, given the complexity of M&A operations, it is usual to designate corporate lawyers, CFOs, specialized advisors, or company administrators.

Absolutely. The power's content is completely configurable and customizable according to your needs.

You can delimit:

• Specific powers: only sign deeds, only negotiate terms, only appear at registries
• Specific acts: only the merger with company X, only acquisition of shares Y
• Economic limits: operations up to a certain amount
• Temporal validity: power valid until a specific date or until completing the operation

Yes, completely valid. You can grant the power from any country in the world via notarial video conference.

The process is 100% online: sign with an official Spanish notary via video conference, identifying yourself with ID, NIE, passport, or digital certificate. The document has full legal validity in Spain and can be presented at any Commercial Registry or notary office in the national territory.

Full legal validity. The power granted before a licensed notary in Spain has complete legal effectiveness for any corporate or registry procedure.

• Public administrations and official bodies
• Banking and financial entities

The basic necessary documentation is:

• Valid identity document of the grantor (ID, NIE, or passport)
• Complete agent details: name, TIN, and address
• Operation description: type of M&A, companies involved
• Corporate documentation: incorporation deed, updated bylaws
• Board resolution authorizing the power (if applicable according to bylaws)
• Digital certificate or electronic ID for online signing

We advise you personally on what specific documents you need according to your particular case.

Yes, you can revoke the power at any time while you are its holder.

Revocation must be done through public deed before a notary (also available online). Once revoked, the agent loses all granted powers. It is important to formally notify the revocation to the agent and to third parties who may be affected (registries, banks, counterparties in the operation).

You can also establish automatic termination conditions in the original power: deadline, completion of the specific operation, or achievement of a certain objective.

Granting the notarial power has the cost of the public deed (included in our service).

Registration at the Commercial Registry of the power of attorney may have registry fees depending on the type of power and the autonomous community. It is not mandatory to register all powers, only those granting permanent representation powers for the company.

For specific powers for a particular operation (merger, specific acquisition), they are normally not registered independently, but are provided when executing the final operation. We advise you on the need for registration in your specific case.
