How do I obtain a notarial power of attorney?

Questioner

The situation is as follows, my parents have been living in a care institution since November 2022, I wanted to report a change of address but this was not possible because the bank card was blocked, it is still there and my father cannot use internet banking. several actions have already been taken but the card remains blocked for unclear reasons. Now it happens that my father is not mobile and has a tremor so he cannot sign manually and therefore would have to sign digitally which also does not work because the card keeps blocking, solution according to the bank, new card, but that is also not possible because it will then be sent to the old address because the change of address cannot be implemented because the old card is blocked. So now according to the bank the solution is that I must obtain a notarial power of attorney so that I can make the decisions. can you help me? yours sincerely,

A notarial power of attorney is a document in which you give another person the authority to perform certain acts on your behalf. This may be necessary, for example, if you are unable to perform certain acts yourself for whatever reason, as in the case of your father. To obtain a notarial power of attorney, you must go to a notary. The notary will ask you to show your ID and to draw up the power of attorney. You can then indicate which actions you want the other person to perform on your behalf. The notary will then draw up the power of attorney and have it signed by you and the other person. It is important to emphasize that a notarial power of attorney is only valid if it is drawn up and signed by a notary. If you need help drawing up a notarial power of attorney, you can contact a notary. The Divorce Shop may be able to help you with this. Their telephone number is 0800 822 4433.
