Power-of-attorney checks on closing day
On the day of transfer, use the same POA version that was verified during due diligence and confirm that no newer instrument or revocation has appeared. Reconcile the attorney’s original identity document with the name and details in the POA, and make sure the property and action about to be signed are within scope. If the POA was issued abroad, confirm that required authentication and translation documents are present in the closing file. Any change in beneficiary bank account or payment recipient should be verified independently; authority to sign does not automatically prove authority to redirect funds. If a material discrepancy appears at the registry office, pause the irreversible step until TKGM or the competent authority can resolve it.
