                                                I was researching power of attorney (PoA) earlier this year, and I came across the issue of problems with UK notarised PoA’s.
The issue is described here, but essentially it was about whether a UK notary performed the same role as a Spanish one, and in particular the capacity of the grantor. Having read the various reports I came to the same conclusion described in the article, so it’s as well to make sure that the wording is suitable. NB the issue relates to property, but I think the principal is the same.
In the end I didn’t need a PoA, but I did email the company in the link for a price etc, and it can all be done by email and then notarised locally. There may be somewhere locally that can prepare it for you, but I would ask them about this issue, to see if they are uptodate.
