Frequently asked questions

Do I need to travel to Guatemala?

In most cases, no. Many procedures can be handled with a power of attorney signed where you live, and some, such as registering a child born abroad, do not even require one.

What is the fastest way to sign a power of attorney abroad?

Before a Guatemalan attorney and notary practising in your city: the document is executed under Guatemalan law and in Spanish, with no apostille or translation.

Who issues the apostille in the United States?

The Secretary of State of the state where the document was signed.

Do you work in English?

Yes. We advise clients in English and Spanish. Legal instruments are executed in Spanish, as Guatemalan law requires.
