18. Power of Attorney for sale from a foreigner, translation of a PoA.

A party of the real estate purchase or sale transaction may be represented by an attorney, i.e. a person authorized to conclude a contract on behalf of the real estate owner. Transactions involving an attorney constitute a significant part of contracts concluded through Leach & Lang, as well as are widely practiced on the real estate market.

In a case if a power of attorney issued outside the territory of the Republic of Poland, additional legalization is required, i.e. confirmation of the document’s authenticity. In case of countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention, the legalization of documents takes place by obtaining the Apostille clause. All the documents issued in a foreign language must be translated and certified by an authorized sworn translator in order to be admitted to legal circulation in Poland. At Leach & Lang, we provide professional advice on the organization of a power of attorney and its translation also for foreigners.
