For many International Intended Parents, traveling to Tbilisi solely for the execution of initial contracts is logistically difficult and financially inefficient. Legal Sandbox Georgia eliminates this burden by providing comprehensive Power of Attorney (PoA) drafting services, allowing you to initiate your surrogacy or IVF program without being physically present in Georgia. Under the Civil Code of Georgia, specifically Articles 710 through 723 governing mandate and agency, a properly executed PoA allows a designated representative—typically one of our lawyers—to sign the Surrogacy Agreement, the Clinic Agreement, and other essential medical consents on your behalf. This service is critical for ensuring that your program is not delayed by travel restrictions or scheduling conflicts.
Our drafting process is highly specialized; a generic "general" power of attorney is often rejected by Georgian medical institutions or the Public Service Hall due to a lack of specific authority regarding reproductive rights. We draft a "Special Power of Attorney" that explicitly grants the necessary authority to consent to IVF procedures, embryo transfer, and the specific terms of the surrogacy arrangement as required by the Law of Georgia on Health Care. We ensure the language satisfies the strict compliance standards of major clinics like Beta Plus, Chachava, and GGRC, preventing the risk of your contract being deemed invalid due to insufficient representation authority.
Crucially, we guide you through the complex international legalization process required for the PoA to be valid in Georgia. Depending on your country of residence, the document must be notarized locally and then either Apostilled (for Hague Convention member states) or Legalized via the consular route. We provide precise, step-by-step instructions for your local notary to ensure the final document meets the requirements of the Law of Georgia on Notariat. Once the physical document arrives in Tbilisi, we handle the notarized translation into Georgian and immediate submission to the relevant parties, ensuring your legal presence is established instantly and securely.
