A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives a person, or trustee organisation the legal authority to act for you to manage your assets and make financial and legal decisions on your behalf.
Notary public plays an important role when executing a power of attorney legally valid and recognised overseas.
It is a process whereby a notary public, upon the application of the involved parties, legally attests to the authenticity and legality of the principal’s declaration to authorise another person to act on their behalf.
