P.P.

español al inglés Jurídico/Patentes Finanzas (general) Bank serving as guarantor
A certain bank based outside of Spain has a branch located in Madrid. The branch is to serve as guarantor for a certain corporation in connection with a rental property. The terms of this agreement are spelled out in detail in the document in question, and then at the bottom of the one page the following appears:

[Name of bank]
[Branch in Madrid]
_P.P._

Does the "P.P." stand for "por poder"? What would be the best way to translate this into English? Perhaps "By proxy"?

Discussion

Cynthia Coan (asker) Feb 18, 2014:
Answer to Where is the signature? Oddly enough, no signature appears in this document. There are a couple of personal names, but they're both printed.
CARMEN MAESTRO Feb 18, 2014:
It is Latin (per procurationem). "By proxy" is OK
AllegroTrans Feb 18, 2014:
Where is the signature? After P.P.?

P.P.

As has been mentioned in the discussion area, this is short for 'Per Procurationem'. In the UK at least, many banks end letters to clients with P.P., so I am confident that you could use the same abbreviation, assuming that a name and signature follow in the original.

I can't find a real letter, but it is used in the same way as the second web reference I've given.
