Parties
Clear legal names for grantor and agent with addresses and identification details.

A Carta Poder is used by individuals and organizations when personal appearance is impractical or legal/administrative representation is required.
Choose the form variant and authentication level (notary, witnesses, or RON) that matches the transaction risk and local legal rules.
