Many foreign buyers want to purchase real estate in Mallorca but can’t fly to Spain multiple times. The solution? Use a Power of Attorney (POA) to let a trusted lawyer handle everything on your behalf — legally, securely, and efficiently.
At Borderless Lawyers, we act as your local legal representative to complete property transactions in Mallorca entirely remotely.
🔑 What Is a Power of Attorney (POA) in Spain?
A Power of Attorney is a notarized legal document that authorizes someone (your lawyer) to act on your behalf in Spain.
In property purchases, this includes:
-
Obtaining your NIE
-
Opening a bank account
-
Signing the arras contract
-
Paying taxes and deposits
-
Attending the notary closing
-
Registering the property in your name
✈️ Who Uses POA?
-
Foreign investors
-
Busy professionals
-
Retirees abroad
-
Second-home buyers who want to reserve a property quickly
💡 Many sellers won’t wait for you to fly to Mallorca — especially in competitive markets like Palma or Sóller.
📄 How to Grant Power of Attorney
You have 3 options:
-
Sign POA at a Spanish notary while visiting Mallorca
-
Sign at your local notary abroad (we send the draft) and legalize with apostille
-
Visit the Spanish consulate in your country
✅ We prepare the bilingual POA text and guide you through every step.
📌 Is POA Safe?
Yes — POAs are:
-
Custom-limited to only property-related actions
-
Drafted and signed under strict legal oversight
-
Fully revocable at any time
-
Designed for single-use transactions only (unless requested otherwise)
We also provide full transparency at every stage of the purchase.
