Power of attorney: drafting, translation and legalization
A power of attorney lets someone act on your behalf — to sell property, manage a bank account, register a company or deal with an inheritance. To be accepted in another country it usually has to be signed before a notary, translated, and apostilled or legalized.
We help prepare the wording (including bilingual versions), arrange signing with notarial verification in São Tomé and Príncipe, and handle translation and the apostille or legalization. If you live abroad and need to act in São Tomé, we coordinate the process in your country of residence.

Frequently asked questions
Can a power of attorney made in São Tomé be used in Portugal?
Yes, provided it is signed before a notary and apostilled. As both countries use Portuguese, a translation is usually not needed.
I live abroad. Can I grant a power of attorney to someone in São Tomé?
Yes. You sign it in your country of residence, it is apostilled or legalized and, if needed, translated into Portuguese. We coordinate every step.
