Agreements on legal aid in civil matters form an important basis for relations between Poland and countries to the east of its borders. From the point of view of notarial turnover, the formation of matrimonial property relations plays a particularly important role. Exclusively applicable in this case are the provisions of the agreements in question. Moreover, the text discusses the issue of powers of attorney to transfer real property in Poland and issued in Belarus, Ukraine or Russia. The form of a legal act in such situations is determined by the law of the place where the real estate is located (lex rei sitae).
