Frequently Asked Questions

What is a power of attorney and when do I need one?

A power of attorney is a document by which you authorize another person (the attorney-in-fact) to act on your behalf. It is often required in real estate, business, and immigration proceedings when you cannot be physically present in Portugal.

Can I execute a power of attorney outside of Portugal?

Yes. You can execute a power of attorney at a notary office or registry office in your country, with an apostille, or at Portuguese consulates/embassies abroad. Our team will advise you on the correct format and necessary requirements.

How long is a power of attorney valid for?

It depends on what is stipulated in the document. Some powers of attorney have a defined term, others are valid until revoked. We always draft them for the duration appropriate to the process in question.
