Share Sale Power of Attorney

Authorise someone to sign the sale of your shares, with the price and buyer fixed in writing.

Sell shares with a representative signing for you

A share sale involves signed transfer documents and sometimes a licensing authority. A Power of Attorney lets a representative sign for you when you are away.

Because this transfers value, we recommend naming the buyer, the number of shares and the agreed price in the document itself. That protects you from a representative changing the deal.

What you will need to start

  • Passport and ID of the seller
  • Share certificate or company records
  • Name of the buyer and agreed terms
  • Details of the representative

What the document can cover

The powers are set to the task you actually need done. Anything not listed is not given.

  • Signing the share transfer
  • Amending licence and company records
  • Receiving payment, only if stated
  • Dealing with the licensing authority

How the process works

  1. Collect the deal terms. We take the buyer’s name, the number of shares and the agreed price.
  2. Write the terms in. We put the buyer, shares and price into the document so the representative cannot change the deal.
  3. Draft and review. We prepare the document and send it to you for approval.
  4. Notarise. You sign before a notary public with original identity documents.
  5. Translate, attest and deliver. If you sign abroad, we arrange translation and attestation, then give the finished original to your representative.

What to check before you sign

  • Buyer and price are written in
  • Payment goes to your account unless stated
  • The authority accepts the representative
  • The document ends with the sale
