The law establishes that a power of attorney is a written authorization issued by one person to another person for representation on behalf of third parties. A power of attorney issued for making transactions requiring a notarial form, for filing applications for state registration of rights or transactions, as well as for disposing of rights registered in state registers, must be notarized. If the power of attorney is issued abroad in countries participating in the 1961 Hague Convention, the power of attorney must contain the certification of an apostille in addition to notarization.

Karina Duvall

According to the Russian Federation Law, any possible claims Ms. Smith has against Mr. Smith in the Courts are not viable. The three-year limitation period has been exceeded since Ms. Smith failed to use her right to file claims for division of property during her divorce proceedings in 2008 up until the expiration of the statute. Ms. Smith knew of this limitation since she acted as the initiator of the divorce, which indicates the absence of a dispute on the division of property between Mr. and Ms. Smith.
