Can My Lasting Power of Attorney be used in Spain?
Not in its existing format. But …
There is a specific format for this type of document which is acceptable in Spain, which extends a standard Power of Attorney to the closest available equivalent to a UK Lasting Power of Attorney. At Legal4 Spain, we are able to provide this form of Power of Attorney for signature both within Spain and outside Spain.
There are various legal and procedural differences between Spain and other countries in relation to Powers of Attorney. Therefore, at Legal4Spain, our advice is that the only way to avoid problems, delays and additional costs, is for an individual Power of Attorney to be made in relation to Spanish assets, in a form which is immediately acceptable and admissible by the Spanish Authorities. This can be an extremely useful and valuable facility for anyone who owns property in Spain, to cover the eventuality that they are unable to deal with their affairs in Spain at any future time, due to either physical or mental incapacity.
