If you are an Overseas Filipino Worker or residing abroad, you need an Attorney-In-Fact (AIF). An AIF is a legally designated individual who transacts business on behalf of the buyer. The AIF must be 21 years of age and able read and write.
He/she should be an immediate family member up to the second degree of affinity or consanguinity. This means that the only people eligible to become your AIF are the following:
- 1st Degree of Affinity – Your Spouse
- 1st Degree of Consanguinity – Your Parents and Son/Daughter
- 2nd Degree of Affinity – Your Parent-in-Law and Son/Daughter-in-Law
- 2nd Degree of Consanguinity – Your Grandparents, Brothers, Sisters, and Grandchildren

Any family member beyond the second degree, such as aunts, uncles, grandparents-in-law, nieces, nephews, and first cousins, are not eligible to act as your AIF.
