Case: Quick and Professional Power of Attorney Formalization with Delivery to Ukraine: An Effective Solution for Legal Matters Abroad
CLIENT'S PROBLEM:
Clients approached notary Andriy Tereshchenko with the need to formalize a power of attorney intended for use in Ukraine. Since they were abroad, it was critically important for them that the entire process—from consultation and formalizing the power of attorney to its reliable delivery to Ukraine—was fast, clear, and professional. The need for reliable and prompt document delivery was a key factor, as standard postal services could significantly delay the process, which was unacceptable for their legal needs, especially in situations where every day mattered. Clients needed not just signature certification, but comprehensive support that would guarantee the power of attorney was flawlessly prepared, accepted in Ukraine without reservations, and delivered on time.
SITUATION ANALYSIS AND KEY ASPECTS:
The success of this case depended on complying with the requirements of Washington State notarial law and Ukrainian law regarding powers of attorney. Since the clients were unable to be physically present in Ukraine, their power of attorney had to be prepared with legal impeccability, which required the notary not only to certify signatures but also to have a deep understanding of how this document would be received by Ukrainian notaries and other government agencies. A key aspect that solved the problem was the combination of the notary's experience with an understanding of international logistics. Andriy Tereshchenko, having experience working in both the USA and Ukraine, had a perfect grasp of all the "pitfalls" and could prevent potential errors.

The quick and professional formalization of a power of attorney that would be legally valid in Ukraine, as well as the organization of its reliable and prompt delivery to complete their legal affairs without unnecessary hassle.
