Why Use This SPA Template?
Using a generic SPA can often lead to delays if specific clauses required by the BIR or Registry of Deeds are missing. This version is built with:
- Technical Accuracy: Includes the specific “Power to Receive” clauses often overlooked.
- Notary-Ready Format: Proper margins and legal phrasing for immediate notarization.
- Versatility: Suitable for residential lots, house and lot packages, or condominium units.
Quick Checklist Before Printing:
- Verify TCT Numbers: Ensure the Title Number and technical description match the original document exactly.
- Valid IDs: The Principal and Attorney-in-Fact must have at least one (1) valid government-issued ID (Passport, UMID, LTO, etc.) with a clear signature.
- Notarization: Print at least five (5) original copies. Government agencies rarely accept photocopies of an SPA.
