Verified reviews of this service

It is a legal document granted before a notary that authorizes another person (attorney-in-fact) to act on your behalf to sign loan, credit, or mortgage contracts with financial institutions, banks, or notaries.

The attorney-in-fact can perform all necessary procedures as if they were you, including negotiations, document signing, and guarantee submissions.

Yes, if you cannot personally attend the notary or financial institution to sign the mortgage loan deed, it is necessary to grant a power of attorney so someone you trust can legally represent you.

Banks and notaries require this requirement to guarantee that the signing person has valid legal authorization.

With this power of attorney you can authorize:

• Signing personal loan or consumer credit contracts
• Formalization of mortgage loans for home purchase
• Contracting business or personal credit lines
• Subrogations and novations of existing mortgages
• Mortgage cancellations and signing of payment letters
• Debt renegotiations and refinancing
• Constitution of guarantees and bonds

The scope is customized according to your specific needs.

Yes, currently you can grant this power completely digitally with Spanish licensed notaries through secure video conference.

The process includes remote identity verification and electronic signature with digital certificate, granting full legal validity to the document without needing physical presence.

Yes, it is completely safe as long as:

• The scope of the power is clearly limited (what operations can be performed)
• The authorized financial institutions are specified
• The specific documents that can be signed are detailed
• It is granted before a licensed notary who verifies identities
• Someone you completely trust is appointed as attorney-in-fact

• Documentation submission: 5-10 minutes
• Review and drafting by notary: 24 hours
• Video conference and digital signature: 15-20 minutes

• From the grantor (you): Valid DNI, NIE, or passport
• From the attorney-in-fact: Valid DNI, NIE, or passport
• Operation details: type of loan/credit/mortgage, financial institution, approximate amount
• Digital certificate: for electronic signature (we can guide you on how to obtain it)
• Stable internet connection: for the video conference with the notary

You can choose between:

• Temporary power: valid only for a specific operation or during a determined period (recommended for greater security)
• Indefinite power: valid until you expressly revoke it before a notary

We will recommend the most appropriate option according to your situation. Powers for financial operations are usually temporary and specific.

Yes, it is highly recommended to establish clear limits in the power of attorney:

• Maximum loan or mortgage amount
• Specific type of authorized operation

It is very common when you have paid off the mortgage but reside abroad.
