If you have any questions related to the registration of a pension under a power of attorney, you should refer to the current rules for pension payments. According to them, a pensioner can shift the authority to receive a pension to another person. In this case, it is necessary to issue a power of attorney to the selected person in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Instructions
Step 1
So, make a statement. There are no specific requirements for its design, the principal can do this in any form. Most importantly, do not forget to indicate some data, namely: the place of writing the power of attorney, the date of drawing up, name, surname, as well as the place of residence of both persons (who issued the document and received it). Keep in mind that the maximum duration of any power of attorney can be no more than three years from the date of issue. If you do not indicate the desired period, then the document will be valid for one year. By the way, a power of attorney that does not contain the date of its preparation is considered null and void.
Step 2
It should be noted that payments under a power of attorney issued for a period of more than a year can be made only if the pensioner annually confirms the fact of his registration at the place of receipt of the pension. This rule is justified by Clause 6 of Article 18 of the Federal Law “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”.
Step 3
After drawing up, be sure to certify the power of attorney with a notary. If it is not in your locality, the document can be certified by an authorized official of the executive authority. Permission to perform notarial acts is issued by the head of this body.
Step 4
Article 185 of the Civil Code of Russia establishes cases in which a power of attorney will be equated to a notarized one. Such cases include the issuance of a power of attorney by adult capable citizens who are in a social protection institution. Moreover, the document can be certified by the head of the relevant body or the administration of the institution itself.
Step 5
You can also certify the document in the organization in which the principal studies or works, or in the housing maintenance organization at the place of residence.
