Can I authorise anyone?

Yes, any natural or legal person can be an attorney-in-fact. For court representation, some proceedings require a lawyer.

How do I revoke a power of attorney?

You can revoke it in writing at any time. The revocation takes effect when the attorney-in-fact learns of it.

Can I authorise multiple people simultaneously?

Yes. You can authorise multiple people — either to act jointly (conjunctively) or each independently (disjunctively). It is recommended to state this explicitly.

Is a foreign power of attorney valid in Slovakia?

It depends on the form. A foreign power of attorney typically needs to be apostilled (Hague Convention) and translated into Slovak if presented to Slovak authorities.
