Overview
When you need a power of attorney
Many actions in Ukraine, such as selling property or dealing with registries, require a representative with a notarised power of attorney. A vague or incorrectly formatted document is often refused by Ukrainian notaries, so the wording matters.
01
You need someone to sell or buy property for you
02
A representative must act at a notary or registry
03
You need to manage a car, bank account or company
04
Your previous power of attorney was refused

FAQ
What clients ask before filing
Not covered here? Ask an attorney directly during your consultation.
How long is a power of attorney valid?
For the period stated in it. If no period is stated, it is valid until revoked, subject to the law.
Can I revoke a power of attorney?
Yes, at any time, through a notary or consulate.
Why are powers of attorney refused?
Usually because of vague wording, missing details or incorrect legalisation.
Is a consular power of attorney better?
It is often simpler, since it does not need an apostille, but appointments can take time.
Can I sign a power of attorney for Ukraine at a foreign notary?
Yes. It must then be apostilled and translated into Ukrainian, with the translation certified in Ukraine.
