Online powers of attorney in Terrassa

Q: Does the notary handling my case know Catalan civil law?

Yes. Our notaries are licensed in Spain and regularly work with the Catalan Civil Code, which is decisive in matters of inheritance, marriage contracts, and matrimonial property regimes. If your case falls under Catalan law, the document will be drafted accordingly.

Q: Can I sign the document in Catalan?

Yes, the deed can be executed in Catalan, Spanish, or both languages. Just let us know when booking your appointment and we'll prepare it accordingly.

Q: Will it be recorded at the Terrassa Land Registry?

Yes. The electronic deed is submitted electronically to the competent Registry based on the property's location, whether in Terrassa or any other municipality.

Q: What if my matter involves a Catalan inheritance?

Book IV of the Catalan Civil Code applies, with its own rules on the forced heirship share (one quarter, not two-thirds) and the possibility of succession agreements. We'll explain exactly how this affects your case before you sign anything.

Q: General or specific power of attorney?

A general power covers many acts and avoids repeated notarial deeds, but grants broad authority. A specific power is limited to one transaction and can expire once it's completed. For acts of disposal (selling, mortgaging), we always recommend a specific power, with a minimum price and limited validity.

Q: Can I revoke it whenever I want?

Yes, at any time. But withdrawing the copy is not enough: you must execute a notarial revocation and formally notify the attorney-in-fact and the institutions where it was used. Until then, it remains effective against third parties.

Q: Is a power of attorney signed by video call valid at any notary's office?

Yes. It is a Spanish public deed like any other, with an electronic certified copy valid before notaries, registries, banks, and public authorities.

Q: Do they have the same legal validity as in-person powers?

Yes, online powers of attorney in Terrassa have exactly the same legal validity as those granted in person before a notary. The advanced electronic signature complies with all legal requirements established by Spanish and European regulations.

Q: What technical requirements do I need to process an online power?

You only need:Stable internet connectionA device with a camera (computer, tablet, or smartphone)Valid ID or NIEVerified electronic signature system (we guide you through the process)

Q: What types of powers can I grant online?

You can grant general powers (for all types of transactions), special powers (for specific acts such as property purchases and sales, banking transactions, or inheritances), and preventive powers (activated in situations of incapacity). The notary advises you on the most suitable option for your situation.

Authorize another person to act legally on your behalf, without travelling across Terrassa or setting foot in a notary office.

Terrassa is home to more than 225,000 residents and has a very dense industrial and services sector, with a community of foreign residents and Egarenses who work outside the city. That explains why online notarial procedures have caught on here: it's not a matter of convenience, it's that half of these transactions happen while you're somewhere else entirely.

Powers of Attorney: what they are and what they are for

A power of attorney allows a family member, a lawyer, or an agent to act for you: accept an inheritance, sell a property, litigate, deal with your bank, or apply for a foreign ID number (NIE). The difference between a useful power of attorney and one that leaves you exposed lies in the scope of authority granted: too narrow and it won't cover what you need; too broad and you're handing over a blank check.

An online power of attorney is a legal authorisation that allows you to delegate your representation to another person through a completely digital process, without needing to physically attend the notary office.

The procedure is conducted through secure platforms using advanced electronic signature, which guarantees the full legal validity of the document and the protection of your identity throughout the process.

This system facilitates personal, asset, or business management with the same legal backing as an in-person power, saving time and travel whilst maintaining the notary's professional advice at every step.

What changes if you are in Terrassa

Particularities of Catalonia that affect your procedure, beyond the name of the city

Catalan civil law

Catalonia has its own civil law, which directly affects inheritance, marriage contracts, and matrimonial property regimes. This isn't a minor detail—it changes the substance of the document, not just its form.

Separation of property as the default regime

In Catalonia, the default legal regime is separation of property, not community property. Many couples in Terrassa assume the opposite and only discover the error when buying property or handling an inheritance.

Succession agreements

The Catalan Civil Code allows succession agreements (heretaments), which are prohibited under common Spanish law. This is a family and business planning tool that is available here.

Notarial College of Catalonia

Our notaries are licensed in Spain and are well-versed in Catalan legal specifics. The document is fully valid in Terrassa and throughout Catalonia.

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Law 10/2008, Catalan Civil Code, Book IV (inheritance) Law 25/2010, Book II (persons and family) Law 11/2023 (notarial video call)
