Tailored Legal Documents for Italy's Unique Regions
What is a Procura Speciale?
A Procura Speciale is a legal document used in Italy that grants specific powers to an individual (the agent) to act on behalf of another person (the principal) in legal, financial, or personal matters. Unlike a general power of attorney, the Procura Speciale is limited to a particular transaction or action, ensuring it complies with Italian Civil Law. This document is often required for handling property sales, business transactions, or other legal affairs in Italy when the principal cannot be physically present.

Regional Customization Matters
Italy is a nation of diverse cultures and legal traditions. Our Procuras are customized for each of the 20 regions, incorporating local dialects and legal nuances that make your document not just valid but also respected. From the financial hubs of Lombardy to the historical landscapes of Sicily, we ensure your Procura is tailored to fit the regional legal framework perfectly.
Potential reasons for rejection by your notary include:
- Incorrect Legal Terminology: The Procura may not use the precise legal language required by Italian notaries or legal authorities, leading to a rejection or request for amendments.
- Inadequate Authentication Process: U.S. notarization or apostille processes may not be completed properly or in the correct order. For instance, the notarization might not follow the standard Italian requirements, or there could be errors in how the apostille is applied.
- Missing or Incorrect Details: Essential details such as the “Codice Fiscale” (Italian tax code) or other personal identification numbers could be missing or incorrectly recorded, leading to complications.
- Incompatibility with Italian Law: The content of the Procura may not align with Italian legal standards. For instance, the powers granted in a Procura Speciale may be considered too broad or not specific enough to satisfy Italian legal requirements.
- Failure to Recognize the Foreign Notarization: Italian authorities may reject a Procura because it was notarized by a U.S. notary who is not properly recognized under Italian law, even if apostilled.
- Errors in Translation: If the Procura is translated, poor or incorrect translation can lead to rejection if key terms or meanings are altered, making the document invalid in Italy.

Why New York Statutory ABA Power of Attorney Forms Aren’t Accepted in Italy
New York Statutory ABA Power of Attorney forms are comprehensive and widely accepted within the United States. However, when it comes to Italian legal matters, these forms fall short of meeting the stringent requirements of Italian law. Italian authorities require a Procura Speciale, a document specifically tailored to the country's legal system. The Procura Speciale not only addresses the unique legal nuances of Italy but also adheres to the specific mandates of Italian Civil Code (Codice Civile), particularly Articles 1387–1400, which govern the authority of a representative in Italy.

Key Differences Between New York and Italian Law
- Legal Formalities: Italian law mandates that a Procura Speciale must be drafted in accordance with the specific purpose it is intended to serve, unlike the more general nature of New York's Power of Attorney. Italian courts are particularly strict about the form and content, as outlined in Article 2702 of the Codice Civile, which governs the legal efficacy of written documents.
- Jurisdictional Requirements: The Italian legal system is decentralized, with each region having its own specific legal traditions and practices. A New York Power of Attorney does not consider these regional variations, making it ineffective for legal transactions in Italy. For example, a Procura Speciale used in Lombardy (Lombardia) must adhere to the local dialect and legal nuances, as per the region’s specific statutory requirements.
- Notarization and Apostille: While New York's Power of Attorney can be notarized and apostilled for international use, it still does not meet the procedural and content requirements of Italian law. Italian notaries (notai) are required by law (Legge notarile, 16 February 1913, n. 89) to verify that the Procura Speciale adheres to the legal formalities specific to Italy, including regional regulations and language.
Due to these differences, New York attorneys frequently turn to White Plains Apostille & Mobile Notary to generate Procura Speciale documents for their clients. We ensure that each document is not only compliant with Italian law but also tailored to the regional specifics, making it valid and enforceable across Italy.
