Your situation decides the route
Acting for someone outside Chile does not change the procedure, it changes the logistics. But a Chilean who left matters pending here is not in the same position as a foreign national coming into the country for the first time. Choose which case is yours.

I am Chilean and I live abroad
You left an estate never settled, a property that cannot be sold, property taxes piling up or a case nobody ever filed.
- Estates and posesión efectiva
- Civil litigation and evictions
- Property taxes
- Sales, land regularisation and leases
The power of attorney is signed at the Chilean consulate in your city.

You want to buy property in Chile, you inherited from a Chilean relative, you are a non resident owner of real estate or you have a dispute over an asset located here.
- Buying property or land
- Inheriting from a Chilean relative
- Taxes for a non resident owner
- Litigating or defending yourself in Chile

A power of attorney for a lawyer in Chile solves the distance
In both cases the obstacle is the same: there are steps that can only be taken in person in Chile, before the Real Estate Registry, before a notary or before a court. The solution is also the same in structure, a power of attorney in favour of a lawyer in Chile, and what changes is where that document is granted and which papers need an apostille.
