Power of Attorney for the sale of apartments in Bulgaria
Vyacheslav Chizhik asks:
Is it possible to issue a power of attorney for the sale of an apartment (bought in 2009) to my son in Moscow, at the embassy or consulate of Bulgaria. He is married, whether his wife’s consent is also needed (married in 2014). He has 5% ownership.

Good day. Yes, the embassy in Moscow has the opportunity to prepare a power of attorney. There you will be given contacts of a translator, the lawyers of the embassy will certify the translated documents to them. It is better to clarify all the details when processing the documents at the embassy

Good afternoon, Vyacheslav!
Yes, you can do it
1. A sample of power of attorney and declarations is sent to you in Russian (another new one has been added since April 8!)
2. You make out at the nearest notary in your town (or directly at the Bulgarian consulate)
3. If the marriage was concluded after registration - the consent of the wife is not needed.

Good day.
Yes, you can issue a power of attorney at the consulate. Depending on the location of the apartment, the usual notarized power of attorney in Russian is allowed, which is then translated into Bulgarian here in Bulgaria. Since the apartment was purchased not in marriage, documents are not needed from the wife, but the marriage certificate is also better to prepare. You will also need an additional three declarations from it.
Samples of all documents, including power of attorney (there are nuances), ask your broker or lawyer who will conduct the transaction.
Since the declarations are valid until the end of the year, I recommend preparing a package of documents when there is already a buyer.
Sincerely, Eugene.

The consent of the wife of the son is not necessary, because the apartment is purchased before the marriage, the son must also make 2 more declarations besides the power of attorney and also assure them at the embassy

Good afternoon, dear Vyacheslav Chizhik. Thank you for your question. Yes, you can issue a power of attorney for you. The consent of the spouse is not necessary, for the reason that the marriage was concluded later. Have a nice day. Respectfully,

Hello Vyacheslav!
Yes, the power of attorney for the sale of an apartment can be issued in Moscow, at the consulate of Bulgaria. You do not need your daughter-in-law’s consent, as the apartment was purchased before their wedding.

BULGARIA. The rights of foreign buyers
Hello! We are considering options for buying a house with a plot of land in Bulgaria for permanent residence. Please tell me if it is currently possible for Russian citizens to make such a transaction and register the purchased property for themselves. Thanks!

BULGARIA. Property maintenance
We bought an apartment in Bulgaria two years ago. The house has the status of a housing estate. About 80% belongs to a Bulgarian company and is rented out in the summer.
During all this time, the manager has not provided any documents for all our requests and refuses to accept the support fee only from us. They asked him many times to take a dachshund, he says then and so on for two years! And he tells the neighbors that we don't pay. What should I do and what is the threat of this situation?

BULGARIA. Visa, residence permit, citizenship
We, two pensioners from Israel, have a permanent residence permit in Bulgaria. Is it possible to get any kind of residence status in Bulgaria for our daughter (single, 46 years old), given that we need her help caring for us. Are there any exceptions to the general rules for family reasons?
