Many foreign buyers fall in love with Seville’s charm — but can’t travel for every legal step.
Fortunately, Spanish law allows you to purchase real estate remotely using a Power of Attorney (Poder Notarial).
At Borderless Lawyers, we make the entire process seamless — even if you never set foot in Spain.
🧾 What Is a Power of Attorney (POA)?
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes someone to act on your behalf for specific tasks.
For buying property in Seville, this includes:
-
Obtaining your NIE
-
Opening a Spanish bank account
-
Signing the arras contract
-
Attending the notary signing of the title deed
-
Paying taxes and registering the property
You choose which powers we have — and we always act only in your interest.
🛡️ Is It Safe?
✅ Yes — we draft a limited and specific POA
✅ You sign it at a notary in your country, or digitally if allowed
✅ It is used only for your property transaction
✅ You receive regular updates and confirmations at each step
🌍 Step-by-Step: How It Works
1. Initial Consultation

2. Drafting the Power of Attorney
We send you a bilingual (Spanish-English) POA that includes:
