🧾 What Is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney (poder notarial) is a legal document that:
-
Grants specific powers to your lawyer
-
Allows them to act on your behalf in Spain
-
Is signed before a notary (in Spain or abroad)
✅ It does not affect your ownership — you will still be the legal property owner.

Foreign buyers often use POA to:
-
Avoid costly and repeated travel
