At the notary you can be represented by a real estate agent or someone close to you under your <strong style=\"color:#fff\">notarised power of attorney<\/strong>, which you can sign at a Lithuanian embassy or consulate. You can also sign remotely with a <strong style=\"color:#fff\">qualified electronic signature<\/strong> or come <strong style=\"color:#fff\">for just one day to a notary in Lithuania<\/strong>. A real estate agent in Lithuania coordinates the documents, price, advertising, viewings and negotiations, while you always make the final decisions. I, Sandra Jakul\u0117, have worked this way since 2013: many of my clients live abroad or in another city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px\">Do you still own a flat, house or land plot in Lithuania, but have been living abroad for some time? It may be the home you left behind, an inherited property, or simply real estate you no longer use. Whatever the reason, <strong>selling a flat or other property in Lithuania while living abroad is entirely possible<\/strong> if it is planned in advance and you have a reliable representative here in Lithuania.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 32px\">In this article I explain step by step <strong>what you need to know<\/strong>: which documents you will need, how to sign the deal from abroad, how to set the price and which taxes apply in 2026.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f7f3ec;border-radius:12px;padding:22px 26px;margin:0 0 36px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;color:#18302d\">Selling from abroad \u2013 5 steps<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.9\"><span style=\"color:#b49359;font-weight:700\">1<\/span> Document check &nbsp;\u2192&nbsp; <span style=\"color:#b49359;font-weight:700\">2<\/span> How you will sign: 3 options &nbsp;\u2192&nbsp; <span style=\"color:#b49359;font-weight:700\">3<\/span> Price and strategy &nbsp;\u2192&nbsp; <span style=\"color:#b49359;font-weight:700\">4<\/span> Preparation and advertising &nbsp;\u2192&nbsp; <span style=\"color:#b49359;font-weight:700\">5<\/span> Negotiations and the deal<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"margin:0 0 14px;font-family:'the-seasons',Georgia,serif;font-size:28px;font-weight:400;line-height:1.3;color:#18302d\">Why sell your flat, house or plot if you live abroad?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px\">Life changes, and that is natural. Selling can be a sensible and financially sound decision if:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0 0 36px;padding-left:22px\">\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">you do not plan to return to Lithuania any time soon;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">the empty flat brings no benefit or even costs you money;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">you want to invest the money where you live now;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0\">you have inherited a property and do not want to manage it from a distance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"margin:0 0 14px;font-family:'the-seasons',Georgia,serif;font-size:28px;font-weight:400;line-height:1.3;color:#18302d\"><span style=\"color:#b49359\">1.<\/span> Checking and preparing the documents<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px\">First, I make sure all the necessary documents are in order. If something is missing, I help to obtain it. Usually you need:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:22px\">\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">an extract from the Real Property Register;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">ownership documents (purchase agreement, certificate of inheritance);<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">an energy performance certificate;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">the floor plan (cadastral measurement file);<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">loan documents, if the property is mortgaged;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 6px\">your spouse&#8217;s consent, if the property was acquired during the marriage or is the family home;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0\">other documents depending on your situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px\"><strong>About spousal consent.<\/strong> Property acquired during marriage is usually joint property of both spouses, so selling it requires the will of both. Inherited property belongs to the spouse who inherited it, but notaries often still ask for the other spouse&#8217;s written consent \u2013 for example, if joint money was invested in the property. If your spouse also lives abroad, it makes sense to arrange their consent together with the power of attorney.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 36px\">If you cannot collect everything yourself, I can do it for you with your power of attorney.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin:0 0 14px;font-family:'the-seasons',Georgia,serif;font-size:28px;font-weight:400;line-height:1.3;color:#18302d\"><span style=\"color:#b49359\">2.<\/span> How to sign the deal while living abroad: 3 options<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px\">You can sign the deal in <strong>one of three ways<\/strong>. The first two work if you do not come back to Lithuania at all:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:18px;margin:0 0 20px\">\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 300px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #e3ddd5;border-top:4px solid #b49359;border-radius:12px;padding:22px 24px\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-family:'the-seasons',Georgia,serif;font-size:22px;font-weight:400;color:#18302d\">a) Notarised power of attorney<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:16px\">The most common option when you want to authorise a relative or a real estate agent in Lithuania to act on your behalf: sign the purchase agreement, attend the notary, and represent you at the Centre of Registers, banks or the municipality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#18302d\">Where to make it:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;font-size:16px\">\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 4px\">at the Lithuanian embassy or consulate in the country where you live;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 4px\">at a local notary \u2013 you will then need an <strong>Apostille<\/strong> (or legalisation) and a translation into Lithuanian;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0\">electronically, if you have a qualified electronic signature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin:10px 0 0;font-size:16px\">The power of attorney must clearly state the right to sell the specific property and to receive the money into your account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 300px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #e3ddd5;border-top:4px solid #18302d;border-radius:12px;padding:22px 24px\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-family:'the-seasons',Georgia,serif;font-size:22px;font-weight:400;color:#18302d\">b) Qualified e-signature<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:16px\">A modern, fast alternative to paper powers of attorney. <strong>With a qualified electronic signature you can sign documents remotely.<\/strong> Accepted:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0 0 10px;padding-left:20px;font-size:16px\">\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 4px\">Lithuanian Mobile-ID;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 4px\">Smart-ID (qualified signature);<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0\">a qualified e-signature from another EU country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:16px\">You can use it to sign the power of attorney and other property documents, and, where the notary offers it, the purchase agreement itself remotely (<a href=\"https:\/\/asmeninisntbrokeris.lt\/naudingi-patarimai\/e-notaras-nt-sandoriai-nuotoliu\/\" style=\"color:#18302d;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#b49359\">how the e-notary works<\/a>, in Lithuanian).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 300px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #e3ddd5;border-top:4px solid #d6cfc4;border-radius:12px;padding:22px 24px\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-family:'the-seasons',Georgia,serif;font-size:22px;font-weight:400;color:#18302d\">c) Come only for the notary<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:16px\">I handle all the preparation, viewings and negotiations, and you come back <strong>only on a day agreed in advance<\/strong> to sign the agreement at the notary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:16px\">The preliminary agreement can be signed remotely, so one trip is enough. This suits you if you want to sign yourself and do not have a qualified e-signature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> not every notary handles fully remote deals yet, but their number is growing. A qualified e-signature has the same legal force as a handwritten one. I always recommend agreeing on the right form of power of attorney in advance \u2013 I help to prepare it and coordinate it with the notary.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-left:4px solid #b49359;background:#f7f3ec;border-radius:0 10px 10px 0;padding:18px 22px;margin:0 0 36px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#18302d\">How can I help?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 4px\">\u2013 I check whether your e-signature is suitable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 4px\">\u2013 I put you in touch with a notary who handles remote deals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px\">\u2013 I coordinate the whole process so that everything runs smoothly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><strong>In short:<\/strong> if you have an e-signature, great \u2013 it will be even faster.

If you sell before the 5 years are up, the income must be declared even when the tax is zero. Living abroad, you may also have to declare the income in your country of residence \u2013 this depends on the double taxation treaty between the two countries. If you are not a Lithuanian tax resident, check whether the exemptions apply to you with the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) or a tax adviser.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">I help you to clarify everything and, if needed, put you in touch with a trusted accountant or tax adviser.

At the notary you can be represented by a real estate agent or someone close to you under your notarised power of attorney, made at a Lithuanian embassy, consulate or local notary. The agreement can also be signed remotely with a qualified electronic signature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;color:#18302d\">Can I come to Lithuania only to sign at the notary?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">Yes. The real estate agent does all the work before the deal, the preliminary agreement can be signed remotely, and you come only on the agreed day to the notary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;color:#18302d\">Where can I make a power of attorney while living abroad?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">At a Lithuanian embassy or consulate, at a local notary (you will then need an Apostille or legalisation and a translation into Lithuanian), or electronically if you have a qualified e-signature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-weight:700;color:#18302d\">Do I need my spouse&#8217;s consent to sell the flat?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">If the property was acquired during the marriage or is the family home \u2013 usually yes.
