Understanding the Importance of International Power of Attorney Certification
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants authority to an individual (the attorney-in-fact or agent) to act on behalf of another person (the principal) in various matters, such as legal, financial, or healthcare decisions. When dealing with international transactions, it is essential to have the POA properly certified to ensure its validity and acceptance in the respective country.
Certification Procedures for Various Countries
(Please confirm with the appropriate authorities as this is only a guideline):
- Drafting: Have your Power of Attorney drafted by a skilled Sri Lankan lawyer who is familiar with the specific requirements in Sri Lanka.
- Execution: The executant must sign the document before an authorised person in the presence of two witnesses.
- Notarization: The document should be notarised by a qualified Notary Public, especially for matters related to land, to ensure its validity before the court of law.
- Authentication: The document should be authenticated by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the Sri Lankan consular office.
