Real Estate / What is the process involved in selling a house in Poland from abroad? [17]

You can grant somebody here a power of attorney to sale on your behalf as sale/purchase of a property in Poland must be finalised in the form of a notarial deed (Polish Civil Code). The power of attorney has to be accompanied by so called 'apostille' – according to the Hague Convention that Poland, USA and most European countries have ratified. Such certificate is issued by a competent state agency. If you live in a country that has not ratified the Convention (eg. Canada) the document can be legalized by a consular officer of your country. If the documents are in English, have to be translated into Polish by state-registered translator. You should also consult content and wording of the power of attorney with a Polish lawyer as certain clauses are obligatory.

I hope this is helpful.
