[WSBARP] POA for use in the Philippines?

[Jeannie O'Brien]

My good friend / client had property to sell in the Philippines - it was not easy. She hired a lawyer in Seattle, Mimi Castillo, to help her with the POA for her father.    http://www.filipinolawyers.org/Sys/PublicProfile/3294590/206039

She hired a lawyer in Manila to help facilitate the transaction a couple months before she arrived in Manila. I can get his name if you want it. The lawyer she hired was good friends with a judge, and that made it easier to get the sale completed. All sorts of relatives were claiming ownership of the property, and from what I understand, this is not an uncommon occurrence. :)

Subject: [WSBARP] POA for use in the Philippines? [html]

List mates:

Client, US citizen, wishes to give POA to cousin, also US citizen, who lives in the Philippines.

Client is here, cousin is in the Philippines.

Client wants to give POA to cousin so cousin can sell jointly owned property that is located in the Philippines.

Seeking advice on what is needed for POA to be accepted in the Philippines, and how to execute appropriate document from here.

The San Francisco Philippines consulate was not a good source of information.

Any direction much appreciated.

Lisa
