The last few months have shown that it is not always as easy as one might think to return to Italy from the UK to perform official acts.
Even before the pandemic, it was often not so easy to take a flight to attend events where the presence of the person concerned is required.
In such cases, it is possible to use an instrument known as attorney general’s office, or special as appropriate, or in English Power of Attorney: i.e. the drafting a proxy document that entrusts someone else to perform certain actions such as selling or buying property.

In this article detail how to obtain a power of attorney in the United Kingdomso that it can be fully used in Italy.
As you can imagine, there are several special or general powers of attorney that you can request according to your needs. For example, one of the most common reasons is the request for a special power of attorney for the sale of a property, not to have to postpone the date of the sale.
In most cases, a power of attorney legalised for Italy must be written and authenticated by a notary/solicitorwhose signature has been registered in advance with the relevant English authority. The purpose of this document is to communicate what the attorney is permitted to do and for this reason the actions to be carried out by the person with the power of attorney must be explicitly stated.
Documents required for the special power of attorney in England
In order to draw up the special power of attorney, it is necessary to show a number of documents to validate the deed:
Identification document
• Fiscal Code
Personal details of the person to whom the power of attorney has been granted.
How much does a special power of attorney cost in the UK?
When it comes to the cost of a special power of attorney, it is difficult to say exactly what the price might be.
The two aspects that most influence the cost of this type of document is the prestige of the notary and the type of power of attorney to be written. While as far as fixed costs are concerned, you will have to take into account the stamp duty and if registration is required.
