We are in the process of selling an apartment in Spain. The property is in my name (Mrs.). I am unable to go to Spain for the sale.
Is there a way someone else could sign at the sale for me, either my husband who can go, or an official person in Spain and what are the formalities involved?
You will need to grant power of attorney to someone who can act on your behalf, your husband or a good lawyer in the area of the property should do. If you trust your husband, that is.

If you are the signatory then you need to sign a power of attorney (PODER). Ideally this should be done in front of the notary who will be there for the eventual signing. This also assumes you can get to Spain at some time
However if you cannot get to Spain then you need to go to a lawyer in the UK who can provide a notarised Spanish Document – there are a few and mostly they are around the London area. Contact the Spanish Consulate who will be able to put you in touch with someone authorised to noptarise documents in Spanish – info at
