Power of Attorney and Seller Authority Guide

Check a representative's power to transact

Identify the legal owner and the person who will sign, receive funds or give instructions. If a representative is involved, obtain an authentic or independently verifiable mandate and examine its scope, subject property, validity and any limits on payment collection or substitution. Check the correct document with the competent professional or authority immediately before signing. Keep separate evidence of identity, signature authority and beneficial payment destination; none should be inferred from the others.

Practical verification checklist

Authority checks: Verify the seller's identity and legal capacity, and inspect the original or independently verifiable power of attorney where a representative signs. Confirm that its scope covers the specific property and transaction, and check validity and revocation through the appropriate channel. Arrange an independent translation when needed and never transfer money solely on the basis of a scanned authorization.

Power of attorney authority Verification Guide

Power of attorney authority Verification Guide

A property power of attorney must be verified from its operative text, the principal and attorney identities, execution formalities and current status rather than its title. The representative must hold authority for the exact act, and revocation or replacement must be considered. Foreign-issued powers require the applicable TKGM rules on issuing authority, apostille or legalisation and Turkish translation. Authority to sell does not automatically prove authority to receive the sale price or create a mortgage.
