Ukrainian-law drafting and guidance for documents used in Ukraine.
• Drafting a Ukrainian-law power of attorney for a client in Ukraine.
• Power-of-attorney package for clients abroad: draft, scope of authority and guidance on Ukrainian requirements.
• Ukrainian-law guidance on cross-border document workflows, including requirements for documents intended for Ukraine.
• Notarization, apostille, translation and delivery are performed by the appropriate providers and are not included in the legal drafting fee.
What makes a power of attorney valid — or void
A power of attorney that does not state the date on which it was made is void. This is not a technicality; without the date the document has no force at all.
The period of validity is stated in the document. If none is stated, it remains in force until it is terminated.
The form must match the form required for the transaction itself. For dealings with real estate, that means notarial form.
A power of attorney granted by substitution must be notarized, and cannot outlast the principal power.
Authority ends on expiry, on revocation, or on the death of the person who gave it. After the principal's death the representative retains authority only for urgent matters.

Planning your document
Please specify the country where you are located, the Ukrainian authority or transaction for which the document is needed, and the precise powers to be granted. Drafting under Ukrainian law does not itself include notarization, apostille, translation or acceptance by a foreign authority.
