Power of attorney: drafting, notarisation and legalization
Powers of attorney prepared, translated, notarised and legalized so someone can act for you in Somalia or abroad.
A power of attorney (wakaalad) authorises another person to act on your behalf, for example to sell or manage property, represent you before a court or ministry, collect documents or run a business. For it to be valid in another country, it usually needs to be notarised and then apostilled or legalized.
We help you prepare the power of attorney in the right language or in a bilingual format, arrange notarisation and complete the legalization for the country where it will be used. This is especially useful for members of the diaspora who need someone in Somalia to act for them, and for people in Somalia who need representation abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sign a power of attorney abroad for use in Somalia?
Yes. The document is usually signed before a notary in your country of residence, then apostilled or legalized and translated so that it is recognised in Somalia. We coordinate the steps with you.
Which language should the power of attorney be in?
This depends on where it will be used. A bilingual document, for example Somali and English or Arabic and English, is often the most practical choice.
Can you draft the text for me?
We can prepare the document based on your instructions or on a template required by the receiving authority. For complex legal matters we recommend having a lawyer review the content.
