So, you want to buy some real estate in Chile, have someone sign a contract on your behalf, or otherwise do anything that involves an official document in Chile. Beyond life as a simple tourist in Chile, sooner or later you will have to visit a notary public to do anything official. This is especially true if you wish to use a power of attorney to execute any contracts or official documents involving Chile. This becomes even more complicated when attempting to notarize documents for Chile from outside the country as Chile is not a party to the Hague Convention on Legalization.

There is also a very good legal reason why we have picked the power of attorney as our example.
