P.R. Laws tit. 4, § 2037
Every grantor who appears in representation of another person shall always validate his designation before the notary with authenticating documents, except when there is the expressed agreement of the grantors. The full effectiveness of the documents shall be subordinated to the presentation of documentary evidence of the alleged representation.
There shall also be recorded the nature of the intervention of those grantors who appear only to the effect of complementing the capacity or give their authorization or consent to the contract.
Public officials legally authorized to represent the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, municipalities, instrumentalities or corporations shall not have to validate their powers before the notary.
