Legal details

Your assets, managed on your behalf

Power of attorney and management agreement

Support uses a general or special power of attorney and an agency or management agreement: punomoćje, ugovor o zastupanju or ugovor o upravljanju. The parties define actions, authority term, responsibilities, reporting and remuneration.

Execution without travelling to Montenegro

Lawyers prepare a draft power of attorney for execution in the client’s country. The client arranges foreign notarization, after which legalization and court translation are coordinated. Execution in Montenegro requires the client’s personal attendance.

Transparent rental management

By agreement, the owner is added to the Booking.com/Airbnb listing or account to view bookings and payments. The contract defines the payment schedule and regular property reports.

Formal rental arrangements

Municipal authorization is arranged for short- and long-term rental. Real estate transactions use a notarized power of attorney and notarial contract form, with each category of authority defined in advance.

Owner’s taxes and costs

Budget calculations consider 15% for long-term rental income and an indicative annual property tax of 0.25–1%, determined by municipality and property. We consider tax at 3% on purchases other than from a developer. Short-term rental includes a per-guest, per-night tourist charge at the municipal rate. An accountant determines applicable rates and prepares the individual calculation.

Separate budget components

Notarial work follows the nationwide tariff for the document type. Management fees, translation, legalization and rental platform commissions are separate; preliminary budgets may use platform commissions of around 15% of revenue, with actual terms determined by the chosen platform.

Authority and reporting

The power of attorney specifies authority and its term; the agreement is updated when assets or tasks change. The representative confirms authority to the bank on request, while the accounting function prepares asset income returns.

Legal framework

Support takes account of laws on notaries, obligations, property and other real rights, business organizations, personal income tax, property, banking and administrative fees, together with CBCG rules.

Further information

Questions about the service

Which assets can be covered by the service?

Real estate, bank accounts, company shares, and investment instruments. Each asset type is handled through a different format of support — from renting out property to representing your interests at company meetings.

How can I arrange a power of attorney from outside Montenegro?

The power of attorney is drawn up and notarized in your country of residence, then legalized — either apostilled (for Hague Convention countries) or given consular legalization; for documents from Russia, no apostille is required, as a certified translation by a court interpreter is used instead. The power of attorney is then translated into Montenegrin by a sudski tumač (court interpreter).

What can rental property management include?

Legal assisntance with obtaining municipal authorization for lawful rental — in accordance with the Law on Property and Other Real Rights.

How does the owner receive updates about the assets?

Through regular reporting — monthly or quarterly — on the movement of funds and the status of assets.
