A power of attorney (POA) authorises a trusted person to act on your behalf — to manage or sell property, deal with banks, collect documents, represent a company or handle family matters. Diaspora clients often need a POA signed abroad for use in Sierra Leone; residents often need one signed in Sierra Leone for use in another country.
We prepare bilingual versions, arrange signing before a notary public, and complete the legalization chain so that the document is accepted where it will be used. We are not a law firm: for complex matters such as land transactions or litigation, we work alongside your lawyer, who remains responsible for the legal content.
