Topic-specific verification detail
A buyer should ask: who granted the authority, when and where was it executed, what exact transaction powers are written in the instrument, and does it identify or sufficiently cover the property being transferred? If the document was issued abroad, ask how apostille/legalization and sworn translation were handled. The buyer should also ask whether any later revocation exists and whether the registry has requested a newer or transaction-specific document. These questions test authority rather than merely the appearance of a notarized paper.
If the answer to any of these questions is uncertain, the buyer should obtain clarification before transferring funds rather than assume the notarial appearance cures a limitation in authority.
