FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I grant a power of attorney abroad for use in Uruguay?+
Often yes, but the route depends on the country, form of execution, language and intended act. The draft should be reviewed before signing because apostille, legalisation, sworn translation or protocolisation may be required.
Can a representative buy or sell property for me?+
Yes when the power contains the authority required for the specific transaction. Reservation agreements, mortgages, bank instructions and payment arrangements may require additional wording.
Should I use a general or specific power?+
A specific power is usually designed for defined acts, while a general power grants broader authority. The appropriate scope depends on the transaction and the level of control the principal wishes to retain.
Can an existing power be reviewed before closing?+
Yes. Reviewing it early helps identify missing authority, formal defects, expiry concerns or local steps that could delay the transaction.
How long does the process take?+
Drafting may be quick once the transaction is clear, but appointments, apostille or legalisation, translation and courier times vary by country. Starting before a closing date is fixed is safer.
