CrimeaPRESS reports:
In the Federal Notary Chamber, notes «Russian newspaper»reported a reduction in the number of powers of attorney issued by citizens.
In less than 10 months of 2023, citizens certified with notaries 7 percent fewer powers of attorney for the disposal of real estate and registration of rights to it than in the same period last year — reported to the FNP. — Compared to five years ago, the decrease was 20 percent. It is important that the number of notarial transactions with housing is increasing.
Experts recommend completing transactions and resolving important legal issues on your own. Of course: if possible.
The safest way is to make a deal in person, without intermediaries., experts say. — Even legally obtained powers of attorney can play a cruel joke on the principal. One of the recent stories: an elderly resident of Moscow is forced to live in the entrance, practically under the door of what was once her own, and now someone else’s apartment. In the past, she issued a power of attorney to a relative to donate her share in the apartment. As a result, on the basis of a power of attorney, a transaction was concluded in simple written form, that is, without the participation of a notary. As a result of this transaction, the woman’s share was sold without her knowledge, and she herself was evicted.
Previously, one of the common reasons for issuing a power of attorney was the need to travel to another city to complete a transaction.
Now parties who do not have the opportunity to meet in person at the same table can use the remote transaction format. Everyone comes to a notary at their convenience, and they certify the transaction via video link. All safety checks and guarantees are maintained.
Today, the alienation of housing, land, various buildings and other contracts regarding real estate occupy 73 percent of the total number of remote transactions involving notaries.
As for other types of powers of attorney, their number is also decreasing, — reported the FNP. — Thus, over the past period of 2023, Russians issued 8 percent fewer powers of attorney for motor vehicles than during the same period in 2022.
But scammers are traditionally active. Fraudsters and unscrupulous citizens often use expired or false powers of attorney. Many of them can be caught independently, through a free 24-hour notary service https://www.reestr-dover.ru/. With its help, you can check whether a power of attorney with the specified registration number exists, and whether it has been canceled previously.
If we are talking about notarial documents issued after December 29, 2020, they can also be verified using a QR code. The check should be carried out on the official FNP portal. So, it is worth paying attention to the term of the document.
