As a leading provider of notary public services in Sydney, we frequently assist Singaporean property owners with notarising Power of Attorney documents for managing their HDB flats.

Why You Might Need a Power of Attorney for Your HDB Flat:

A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone to act on your behalf, particularly when you’re unable to physically manage your HDB flat due to distance or other constraints. This can be crucial for tasks such as:

  • Selling your HDB flat
  • Renting out your HDB flat
  • Making general property management decisions

Important Considerations:

  • Singaporean Legal Requirements: It’s crucial to ensure that your Power of Attorney document adheres to Singaporean laws and regulations. Consult with a Singaporean lawyer to draft the document correctly.
  • Notarisation: A notary public in Australia can witness your signature on the Power of Attorney document, adding a layer of legal validity.
  • Registration: After notarisation, the Power of Attorney must be registered with the Singapore High Court. This is a crucial step to ensure its legal enforceability.

How We Can Help:

  • Notarisation: We can witness your signature on the Power of Attorney document.
  • Guidance: We can provide general guidance on the notarisation process and document preparation.

Please note that we cannot provide specific legal advice on Singaporean law and procedures. It’s essential to consult with a Singaporean lawyer to understand the exact requirements for your situation.

By working with a qualified notary public and seeking legal advice from a Singaporean lawyer, you can ensure that your Power of Attorney document is legally sound and effective in Singapore.
