When distributing the estate of a deceased person, it is fairly common for the heirs to grant power of attorney to an entrusted person, or to one of the heirs, for the practical execution of the probate. When power of attorney is used for registration, strict requirements are set for clarity and form. Please note that a power of attorney which is to be used for signing title deeds or mortgage documents requires witnesses. However, witnesses are not a requirement if the power of attorney is to be used to signing the “Declaration of ownership by inheritance” only.
