FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I limit a power of attorney?
Yes. Its scope should be clearly defined before formalizing the instrument. An overly broad power can create risks.
Is a power of attorney signed in the U.S. valid in Mexico?
It may require an apostille and, in some cases, formalization before a Mexican notary to be effective for the intended purpose.
When do I need a power of attorney?
For real-estate transactions, collections, property management, or when you cannot be present in Mexico. It is defined according to the specific act.
Can I revoke a power of attorney I already granted?
Yes. Revocation requires a notarial document in the same terms as the original power. It is processed before a Mexican notary.
