A transaction executed under a Power of Attorney is signed by someone who isn't the buyer or seller — and that person needs their own KYC and screening, tracked separately from the principal they represent. Vanedge treats the POA holder as a first-class party to the deal, not an afterthought bolted onto the signature page.
Mark a deal as executed via Power of Attorney, record the principal's role, and link the attorney-in-fact to their own client record — not just a free-text name on a document.
The attorney is screened against sanctions/PEP lists in their own right, with a live status badge on the deal — because it is their signature that binds the transaction.
The system actively prevents selecting the same person as both principal and attorney — excluded from the dropdown, with any conflicting link cleared automatically and "Mark Verified" disabled until it is resolved.
The POA document itself is linked to the deal record, so a compliance reviewer can trace exactly which instrument authorised the transaction.
A POA is only marked verified by an explicit action — never inferred from a document upload alone — with a clear audit trail of who verified it and when.
POA verification status is a checklist item on the deal itself, alongside the standard conveyancing requirements — nothing sits in a separate, disconnected system.
The attorney is the one actually signing and executing the transaction on the ground. Screening only the principal (who may never physically appear) leaves the person with real signing authority unchecked.
No — the platform actively blocks this in the UI: once someone is set as the principal, they are excluded from the attorney dropdown for that same deal, and any prior conflicting link is cleared automatically.
It appears as a required checklist item on the deal's conveyancing checklist whenever executed_via_poa is set, alongside the jurisdiction's standard document requirements.
