Apostille Power of Attorney to Sell Inherited Property Abroad

When you inherit property abroad and cannot travel to complete the sale, the receiving notary or attorney will typically require an apostilled power of attorney. We apostille notarized POA documents and supporting estate records in Miami. Have the receiving party review and approve the POA wording before signing.

Documents We Apostille

These are examples of commonly requested documents. The receiving notary or attorney in the destination country determines which documents are required.

Special Power of Attorney for a specific real estate transaction (notarized, apostilled) — most commonly required

General Power of Attorney (notarized, apostilled) — confirm with the receiving notary or attorney whether a general POA is accepted

Affidavit of Heirship (notarized, apostilled) — example only; receiving jurisdiction determines required evidence

Death certificate of the deceased — certified copy from the issuing vital records office (apostilled)

Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration — certified copy from the issuing probate court (apostilled)

Birth certificates of heirs — certified copies from the issuing vital records office (apostilled)

Divorce decree (if applicable) — certified copy from the issuing court clerk (apostilled)

Important Notes

Before signing a power of attorney, have the receiving notary or attorney in the destination country review and approve the wording and scope of authority. Requirements vary by country and by the specific transaction.

A special (limited) power of attorney authorizing a specific transaction is generally preferred over a general power of attorney for real estate sales. Confirm which type the receiving party requires.

An apostille authenticates the official signature and capacity of the Florida notary who witnessed the POA. It does not grant title, settle an estate, or establish inheritance rights — those are determined by the laws of the jurisdiction where the property is located.

Supporting documents such as death certificates, letters testamentary, and birth certificates must be certified copies obtained from the issuing authority. We apostille the certified copies — we do not obtain records on your behalf.

We apostille documents. We do not provide legal advice on estate law, inheritance procedures, or real estate transactions in any jurisdiction.

Prepare your documents with confidence

A power to sell inherited property should identify the transaction and authority granted in wording approved by the receiving professional. Estate authority and the power of attorney are separate requirements.

A power of attorney must be suitable for the transaction where it will be used. Start with the receiving lawyer, notary, registry or institution’s approved wording. Signing and authentication can establish the origin of a signature, but they do not determine whether the powers granted are sufficient or whether the transaction can proceed.

Check that all pages, certification sheets and attachments are present. Keep the recipient’s written instructions and confirm where completed documents should be delivered. Timing is confirmed after document review and depends on preparation, the competent authority, translation and delivery.

Tell us the document, its issuer, destination country and intended use, and your deadline. We will review preparation, translation and delivery options before confirming an estimate and timing. Ask for instructions before mailing originals. Please mail with a tracking number.

Have the recipient confirm the wording, signers, property or account details, and whether witnesses or a specific signing format are needed.

Check identification and spelling before signing; changes after notarization may require a new execution.

Confirm whether the original power and its attachments must travel together and whether a translation is required.

Can you choose the legal powers that my document should grant?

The receiving legal professional should approve that wording. We can review document preparation and the authentication route after you have the approved document and signing instructions.

What should I confirm before requesting an estimate?

Provide the document, issuer, destination, intended use, number of copies and deadline. Include the recipient’s checklist if available. This allows preparation, certification, translation and delivery to be reviewed before a cost estimate is confirmed.
