What are all the steps neccesary for a power of attorney to be legally effective in DR if the person issuing it is located in the USA?.
My specific concerns are
1- if the other person has to sign any document before someone ACCEPTING the right or 'privilege' (otherwise anyone could be made responsible for something stated in a power of attorney she/he does not even know exist)
2- if the document has to be filed with the appropriate authorities or gov office in DR (in other jurisdictions it must be done within 48 hours). In this case I know the document must be 'certified' by the emabassy or consulate in the USA.
3- If the document must be mailed to DR through the consulate channels or it can be done independently my private means usps, ups or fedex
