Notary and paper work?
How do I say if I need to go to notary office (?) to get a paper that will let my mother sell my flat (not only to sell it but I need to get a paper that will give her the same rights for the flat that I have, like the right to sign papers etc.)?
I want to say something like "Today I needed to go to the ... office to get this paper".
I have googled that this should be something like "power of attorney" but I'm not sure how I use it if I want to say that I will go and pay for getting this paper created.
I also want to say that I needed to get this done for months, and I was procrastinating, and today I was really adamant about finally getting this paper, but I couldn't make myself go there. What will be the correct and natural way to say this? I feel like I miss some phrases or vocabulary here.
Thank you!

Maybe you mean the word "deed"? A deed is a legal document which establishes the ownership of something. For example, if you own a house or a car, you have a deed in your name. This document confirms that you are the legal owner of the property. If you want to sell your home, the deed will be transferred to the new owner after he pays you the sale price.

This would depend on which country you live in. In some countries, notaries have their own offices,
so you could say, "I have FINALLY decided to go over to the notaries office to get the papers I need".
In other countries, you might have to go to a lawyer's office, a soliciter's office or an attorney's office.
In other countries notaries' services are available at banks, at a city hall or at a county courthouse.
You could say, AT LAST, I've set aside the time I need to get the papers notarized".
"I am determined to FINALLY get the paperwork I needed at the lawyer's office".
"I have, AT LONG LAST, decided to go and get the papers I required from the notary at the courthouse".
Hope this helps

Yeah but if your mother will be showing the flat, wouldn't the people interested in buying it want to check if she actually has your permission for showing and selling it? This is not the deed, because I want to stay the owner until the flat is sold and as things can't be done online here and the people will want to check who's this person showing the flat to them, I need this paper - the paper granting my mom the rights to sell it, but at the same time it won't mean that she's an owner or a co-owner, she just have the rights to act on my behalf, like an agent but she will be able to do everything for me, so I don't have to sign the contract etc.

Everything is done online now, so if I were to sell something I could have the documents sent to me, notarized, and then sent back. Of course, if I were selling property I would need a real estate agent to show the property for me, or my mother in this case. She wouldn't be able to sign anything, but the documents could be scanned and signed by me in the presence of a notary public.
I think William is correct (below). You need to have the deed signed over. I don't know why you would need to deed it to your mother first though. Maybe it's different in Russia.

Thank you! Have you ever heard of people getting this kind of papers? If you have a flat in another town, and you need your mom to sell it, what words would you use to describe the type of service you're looking for? Maybe it's funny but here in Russia if I say the term in Russian everybody knows what kind of paper it is and what it's for cause people need to have documents like this from time to time...
