Powers of Attorney

More than 10,000 Powers of Attorney (POAs) are issued in Nepal every year—and every one of them gives someone else legal authority over something that matters. Your property. Your business. Your signature. Your legal rights.

That’s why creating a POA isn’t just paperwork. It’s a serious legal decision—and it must be done right.

At Notary Kathmandu, we help you draft, verify, and notarize Powers of Attorney that are tailored to your exact needs and legally valid across Nepal and abroad. Whether you’re out of the country, managing family matters, or authorizing someone to act on your behalf, we’re here to make sure your POA is crystal clear, 100% compliant, and officially recognized.

What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you (the principal) to authorize another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on your behalf in legal, financial, personal, or business matters.

It’s especially useful when:

• You’re living abroad and need someone in Nepal to handle your affairs.

• You want to delegate legal representation to a trusted person.

• You're managing property, court cases, or financial transactions remotely.

• A family member needs help acting on your behalf.

But not all POAs are created equal. The language, format, and legal intent must be precise. And it must be notarized to be valid for official use.

Types of Power of Attorney We Offer

We draft and notarize all major types of POAs in both Nepali and English, including:

1. General Power of Attorney
   Grants broad authority to act on your behalf in multiple matters.

2. Special Power of Attorney
   Limits authority to specific actions, such as selling property or representing you in court.

3. Property POA
   Common for land sales, transfers, and tenancy matters.

4. Court Representation POA
   Allows legal professionals or family to represent you in a court case.

5. POA for Visa, Embassy, or Immigration Use
   Required for NRNs, migrants, or those handling affairs from abroad.

6. Business or Financial POA
   Delegate banking or business powers to a partner or relative.

We can also provide custom POAs based on your unique scenario.

Who Needs a Power of Attorney?

If you're in any of these situations, you’ll likely need a POA:

• NRNs or Nepali citizens abroad needing someone to handle tasks in Nepal

• Property owners authorizing a relative to manage or sell land

• Students or migrants who want family to handle documents locally

• Business owners delegating authority to a partner or manager

• Court cases where physical presence is not possible

• Elderly or ill persons assigning a family member for decisions

You don’t have to be a lawyer to use a POA—but you do need a lawyer’s level of care when creating one. That’s where we come in.
