Issuance of power of attorney in Italy and abroad

With a power of attorney, one person, called the principal, grants another person, the agent, the power to perform certain legal acts on his or her behalf. This instrument is essential for both businesses and individuals who wish to delegate the management of specific affairs, whether in Italy or abroad.
For example, if a person owns property in Italy or abroad, he or she may grant power of attorney to another person for the property to be sold to a third party.
We offer comprehensive assistance in the issuance of powers of attorney of any nature, both in Italian and foreign languages.

Powers of Attorney for Acts in Italy and Abroad

Powers of attorney are a fundamental tool for conducting business both in Italy and abroad. In the event that an act is to be performed abroad or by a foreign person in Italy, the power of attorney must meet the formal requirements of the relevant jurisdiction. For this reason, it is essential that the power of attorney is properly drafted and, in many cases, translated into the language of the country where it will be used.
Lo Massimiliano Ferraro Notary Studio offers comprehensive assistance in drafting international powers of attorney, ensuring that each document complies with applicable regulations and that the translation is performed by experienced and sworn translators, so that it is legally valid in the country of destination.
Our services:

  • Special or general powers of attorney: drafting powers of attorney for individual affairs or for the administration of an entire estate.
  • Powers of attorney for foreign countries: drafting of valid powers of attorney for acts to be performed abroad.
  • Sworn translation: collaboration with experienced translators for official translation of power of attorney.
  • Assistance in legalization: Assistance in legalization of powers of attorney, if required by the legislation of the foreign country (by apostille or other form of legalization).

Special Powers of Attorney for M&A Transactions

In the context of M&A (mergers and acquisitions) transactions., powers of attorney play a key role in facilitating the management of complex legal and corporate transactions. Often, a company’s executives or board members delegate authority to specialized professionals, such as lawyers or managers, to represent them in entering into contracts for the purchase or sale of shares, holdings or business units.
Our firm offers support in drafting and authentication of powers of attorney specific for M&A transactions, ensuring that principals and proxies have well-defined powers to act in compliance with Italian and foreign regulations. We also take care of the verification of documentation and validity of the powers granted, reducing legal and administrative risks for all parties involved.
