[WSBARP] Washington Durable Power of Attorney - Executed in Australia by Austrian Solicitor - US Embassy?

[David Moe]

Several years ago a local title insurance company required an apostille where my client, an estate personal representative, was signing an instrument (a deed) in Melbourne, Australia for a King County real property transaction.  See a recorded copy at King County AFN 20090724000116.

Subject: [WSBARP] Washington Durable Power of Attorney - Executed in Australia by Austrian Solicitor - US Embassy?

Any suggestions where the Washington state durable power of attorney I am preparing will be witnessed and notarized in Australia?  Original wet ink document to be returned for recording with the Spokane County auditor (for a real estate closing)?

In the rare instances where I have had this happen before I usually have had the person execute the instrument at a US Embassy or Consulate and return the wet link document for recording.

Any experience where the certifying party is not with the US Consulate/Embassy? Refusal to record by auditor?

The Australian solicitor on the other end of the transaction says his certification on my DPA is sufficient for US purposes.

Title company concerns?

Thanks.
