How we can help

Powers of attorney to act in Colombia

We draft the power of attorney and guide you on signing it abroad (before a notary or a consulate) so that it is accepted in Colombia, including the apostille where required.

Apostille and legalization of documents

Which documents need an apostille, which authority issues it, and how to make a Colombian document usable in another country, and the other way around.

Estates with heirs or assets in Colombia

Notarial or court-supervised succession when one of the heirs lives abroad, or when the deceased left assets in Colombia.

Real estate in Colombia

Title review, purchase and sale, management and leasing of property for owners who are not in the country.

Pensions and contribution weeks

Review of your work history, transfers between Colombian pension regimes and claims for contribution weeks, before or after emigrating.

A limit worth knowing

Consejurídico S.A.S. advises and acts on matters governed by Colombian law. We do not practice or advise on the law of other countries, and we do not represent you before foreign authorities. If your matter also has a component in the country where you live, we will recommend a local lawyer and gladly coordinate with them.
