Authorisation (special power of attorney) for a single act (Spain)

Why it matches: The tenant is leaving the flat and a friend will sign for the keys on your behalf.

For someone who cannot attend to one matter in person and asks another person to do a single act: file a document, sign for keys, attend a meeting, hand in paperwork. Many Spanish bodies have their own form or an online power in their electronic office, both free: if they require it, use theirs. The authorisation describes the act, where it is done and until when it is valid, and excludes anything needing a notarial power. Both people sign it, and the authorised person carries it with their ID. In Spanish.

General power of attorney as a private writing (Italy)

Why it matches: You are moving abroad for a long job and someone has to handle your bills and post in Italy.

For anyone who wants a trusted person to handle their everyday affairs: paying bills and taxes, collecting money, picking up documents, dealing with the building’s condominium and with offices. Under Italian law a private power covers only ordinary administration and the acts expressly listed; selling or buying property, a gift or any act to be registered needs a notarial power. Banks and Poste Italiane may ask for their own forms. Signed by the principal and accepted by the agent.
