The buyer can purchase an apartment without appearing in person for the transaction. To obtain the desired property in such cases, he must issue a power of attorney for the purchase of an apartment.
✅ How to issue a power of attorney to purchase an apartment
To purchase real estate remotely, you need a power of attorney of one of the following types:
- One-time. Issued for a specific action, for example, collecting documents for registration of a written policy.
- General (general) is the most common power of attorney, which allows the holder to collect and sign documents and dispose of real estate at his own discretion.
- Power of attorney. With such a document, a person authorized to make a transaction can entrust this process to another person, for example, a realtor, a lawyer, who will better understand the issue and take into account all the pitfalls.
There is another type - “special” powers of attorney, but their execution when buying an apartment is inappropriate, since the process does not involve repeated similar actions.
The power of attorney is drawn up in writing. Since real estate transactions are subject to mandatory state registration, and in some cases, mandatory notarization, the power of attorney for the purchase of an apartment must be certified by a notary (clause 1 of Article 185.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
