Avoid delays at the BIR or Registry of Deeds. Get a legally sound, notary-ready Special Power of Attorney (SPA) specifically designed for real estate transactions. 

Navigating the Philippine real estate transfer process requires precision, especially when the registered owner cannot be physically present. Whether you are processing a BIR Certificate Authorizing Registration (CAR), paying Transfer Taxes at the LGU, or coordinating with the Registry of Deeds, a legally sound Special Power of Attorney (SPA) is your most critical document.

This free, downloadable SPA template is specifically drafted to meet the stringent requirements of Philippine government agencies and notarial laws.

  • BIR Representation: Authority to process Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and Documentary Stamp Tax (DST).

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:

  1. Technical Accuracy: Includes the specific “Power to Receive” clauses often overlooked.
  2. Notary-Ready Format: Proper margins and legal phrasing for immediate notarization.
  3. 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.
