NOTARY PUBLIC

Before You Print

  • Not legal advice. This is a general form. For your own situation, consult a lawyer, especially if your case is unusual or a lot of money is involved.
  • You will sign it before the notary and confirm you signed it freely (this is called an acknowledgment).
  • Do not sign it yet. You sign in front of the notary, with a valid government ID.
  • The Civil Code needs a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) to sell land. If someone sells land for you without written authority, the sale is void. Describe the lot exactly as the title does.
  • If the land belongs to you and your spouse together, your spouse should sign too, to consent.
  • If you are abroad, sign before a Philippine embassy or consulate, or before a local notary and then get an apostille, so it can be used here.
  • Buyers, banks and the Registry of Deeds may ask for the original SPA, and some will not accept an old one. Have a lawyer look at it if a lot of money is involved.
