A power of attorney (POA) lets someone act for you in another country — to sell or buy property, deal with a bank, represent a company or handle an inheritance. To be accepted abroad, the POA normally has to be signed before a Singapore Notary Public and then apostilled or legalised for the destination country, often with a certified translation or in a bilingual format.
We work from the wording provided by your lawyer, bank or the foreign authority, prepare a bilingual or translated version, arrange the signing before the notary and complete the apostille or embassy legalisation. Please note that we do not give legal advice on the content of the POA; where drafting is required we can coordinate with a lawyer.

Frequently asked questions
Can you draft my power of attorney?
We translate and format the wording supplied by your lawyer, bank or the receiving authority, and many institutions provide their own template. If you need a POA drafted from scratch, we coordinate with a qualified lawyer.
Must I sign in front of the notary?
Yes. The Notary Public must witness your signature and verify your identity, so you attend one short appointment. We prepare everything beforehand so the appointment is quick.
Does the POA need to be translated?
If the destination authority works in another language, it usually expects either a bilingual POA or a certified translation. We tell you which format the destination country prefers.
