What is an SPA? (And Why OFWs Need It)

Your “Clone” in the Philippines.

You can’t sign a deed if you are in Dubai. You need an SPA (Special Power of Attorney).

Specific vs. General

Never sign a “General” Power of Attorney. That gives someone power over your whole life. Sign a Specific SPA limiting the power to: “To sign documents for the purchase of [Property Address] only.”

Consularized vs. Apostilled

  • Old Way: Go to the Philippine Embassy (Consularized).
  • New Way: Go to a local notary in your host country + Apostille (Faster).
