Notarising a power of attorney in the Cayman Islands
A power of attorney lets one person act for another. Many institutions require the document to be signed in front of a notary.
What the notary does
- Checks the identity of the person granting the power
- Watches the signature
- Attaches a notarial certificate
A notary does not write the power of attorney or give legal advice. Speak to a qualified lawyer if you need help drafting it.
If it will be used abroad
The receiving authority may require an apostille after notarisation. See our apostille guide.
