Selling an apartment, accepting an inheritance, dealing with banks or courts in Russia — almost any action can be done through a representative under a properly executed power of attorney. The challenge is executing a PoA that Russian authorities will accept while you are outside Russia. We solve exactly that.
Execution routes
- Russian consulate in your country — a consular PoA is equivalent to a notarial one;
- Local notary + apostille + certified translation — where a consular appointment is unavailable, a foreign notarial PoA with an apostille works for most purposes;
- Remote execution formats where the receiving institution allows them.
What we do
- Draft the PoA text with the exact powers Russian practice requires — banks, Rosreestr, notaries and courts each have their own wording expectations;
- Advise on the optimal execution route in your country and prepare instructions for the local notary;
- Arrange translation and, where needed, apostille of the executed document;
- Act as your representatives in Russia under the PoA: real estate, inheritance, corporate actions, obtaining documents.
FAQ
Whom do I appoint if I have no one in Russia?
Our lawyers act as attorneys-in-fact for clients under engagement terms that define the scope and reporting. Funds always move through accounts you control.
How specific must the powers be?
Very. A generic “represent my interests” PoA is routinely rejected for real estate and banking. We draft to the standard of the specific institution.
