Managing affairs internationally requires formally transferring your legal authority to someone you trust. Whether you are buying overseas property without travelling, managing a remote business transaction, or establishing critical healthcare proxies for the future, the legal instrument you choose dictates exactly what your representative can and cannot do.
A Power of Attorney drawn up under Common Law (e.g. English or Irish law) is rarely recognised "as-is" in Italy. To be lawfully robust, it must undergo strict Notarial execution, precise legal translation, and Hague Apostille legalisation. We architect these instruments to ensure they have immediate, undisputed authority across borders.
Managed Delegations & Authority
We offer management of technical mandates across all three jurisdictions, including:
• Bilingual PoA Drafting: Creating precise Procura instruments for property sales, purchases, and inheritance declarations in both English and Italian.
• UK: LPAs & GPAs: Lasting Power of Attorney (Property/Finance or Health/Welfare) and General Power of Attorney oversight.
• Protective Proxies (Procura Sanitaria): Drafting specific medical and financial mandates to safeguard your care in the event of incapacity.
