Apostille a Power of Attorney to Buy Property Abroad
If you are purchasing real estate in another country and cannot be present to sign, a notarized and apostilled power of attorney allows a trusted representative to act on your behalf. Miami Dade Apostille prepares, notarizes, and apostilles powers of attorney for property purchases in any country that accepts the Hague Apostille.
What the POA Must Include
A power of attorney for a foreign real estate transaction must clearly identify the grantor and the agent, describe the property or transaction, specify the powers granted (sign contracts, accept title, pay taxes, etc.), and be notarized by a Florida notary public before it can receive an apostille.
Apostille vs. Consular Legalization
For Hague member countries, an apostille from the Florida Secretary of State is sufficient. For non-Hague countries, the POA must also be legalized by the destination country's embassy or consulate in the US. We handle both.
How Long Does It Take?
A standard apostille on a notarized POA takes 1–3 business days. Same-day service is available for urgent transactions. We can also coordinate translation into the destination country's language if needed.
Countries We Frequently Handle
We regularly apostille POAs for property purchases in Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Portugal, Italy, and many other countries. Call us to discuss your specific destination.
