How Can I Grant a Power of Attorney for Enforcement from Abroad?

Enforcement Proceedings and Payment Orders

When granting enforcement authority abroad, first clarify the document and intended steps. Execution at a Turkish consulate and use of a foreign notarial document in Türkiye may require different preparation. Apostille, certification, and translation depend on country, document, and treaties. Not every foreign notarial document should be assumed usable directly.

Do not choose a general template merely containing the word enforcement. Litigation, mediation, settlement, waiver, or other specially authorised steps require separate scope review. For a company, the signatory's authority and supporting evidence are needed. The company name must match the legal entity owning the claim.

Before the appointment, prepare the attorney's identity and bar details, your identification, and existing file numbers. Disclose earlier powers and changes of appointment. Urgent precautionary attachment or short objections make last-day preparation risky. Notarial or consular execution does not itself agree the attorney's scope and fees.

Before attending, clarify the steps and authority the attorney requires. Have an existing power reviewed before issuing another; whether the original must be sent depends on the action type.
