Appointment and Powers of Attorney for Foreign Investor Representatives

International business requires coordination of documents and legal responsibilities across jurisdictions. A foreign investor's power of attorney must identify the authorized representative, permitted acts and limits in a form usable in Argentina.

What to keep in mind

Verify the foreign grantor, corporate approvals, notarization, apostilles, translations and specific powers for the contemplated transaction.

A broadly worded foreign document may still prove inadequate for a local registry or closing.

Distinctions often confused

Proof that an investor exists is distinct from proof of its agent's power to act.

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreign investor sign through an attorney-in-fact?
Often yes, with properly documented authority.
Does every foreign power automatically take effect in Argentina?
No. Formal validity and sufficiency for the particular act must be checked.
