	Validity of a power of attorney granted in Spain. Civil Law Francisco Garcia Ramirez 26th of October 2000
Q. Is it enough to regain possession of the original of a Poder-General in Spain or does the authority require cancellation before a Notary. Allan Sayers
A. If, as I understand, you have given a power of attorney to someone and you wish to cancel it, I would do it through a Notary Public be means of a deed of revocation of a power of attorney. You avoid having a power which the beneficiary may use in the belief that you had not given proper instructions for it to be cancelled. The other possibility is for the beneficiary to sign a letter undertaking to not use the power of attorney under any circumstance. This serves as a formal notification, as he states he is aware of the prohibition. Let us know if you need more help. Ask a Question
