How clients rate our Power of Attorney Service...

Advocate Abroad seeks client feedback to ensure continued high-quality service provision.
Claudia was very helpful in dealing with my queries of dealing with receiving inheritance and drafting POA's for my brother. She invested a lot of additional time trying to understand the needs of the banks in drafting the POA that is needed to show the different banks. I would definitely use Claudia again for other Portuguese law related matters.

This service is available across Portugal

Who Needs This Service?

This service is designed for anyone who need to authorise another to act on their behalf in Portugal for various legal, financial, or personal matters. It's especially useful for those who are abroad or unable to manage their affairs due to other commitments or health reasons.

In Portugal, a Power of Attorney (Procuração) is a legal instrument that enables one person (the principal) to grant another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the authority to act on their behalf. There are different types of Power of Attorney in Portugal:

  • General Procuração: Grants broad powers to the agent to manage the principal's affairs.
  • Special Procuração: Confers specific powers for particular tasks or transactions
  • Procuração for Legal Matters (Procuração Forense): Authorises the agent to represent the principal in legal proceedings.
