Power of attorney for an overseas seller
Power of attorney for an overseas seller
The situation
A land seller lived abroad and could not return for the sale appointment. The buyer’s bank required a properly notarized power of attorney. A homemade authorization letter was rejected.
How we approach it
We drafted a power of attorney with the exact powers needed for the sale and bank steps, advised on consular/legalization or local notary routes from abroad, and coordinated with the Vietnamese notary so the transaction could close when papers arrived.
Possible outcome
The notarized (and legalized, where required) power of attorney was accepted. The sale completed without the seller flying back.
