What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document by which one person(grantor) authorizes another(attorney-in-fact) to act on his or her behalf.
This instrument allows legal, financial or personal transactions to be carried out, especially when the grantor is unable or unwilling to appear in person.
At Abogado Notario Online we draft and authorize your power of attorney securely, confidentially and in full compliance with Puerto Rico notary laws, regardless of whether you are on the island or abroad.

- 📜 Inheritance and inheritance procedures

Types of Power of Attorney
Each power grants different levels of authority. The main ones are:
📘 General Power of Attorney
It empowers the attorney-in-fact to perform multiple actions, including administration and disposition of assets.
📗 Special Power
Authorizes specific transactions, such as selling a house, signing a deed or appearing in a specific transaction.
📙 Lasting Power
Remains in force even if the grantor later loses his or her mental capacity. It provides continuity and protection in unforeseen situations. It is very useful for elderly people who are still mentally well.
Term and Termination of Power of Attorney
- It becomes effective when signed before a notary public.
- It remains in effect until the grantor revokes it or dies, or the matter for which it was created is accomplished (e.g., Special Power of Attorney to buy a house).
