Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants another person or entity the authority to act on your behalf in specific matters. It can cover financial transactions, property dealings, business decisions, or medical care, depending on the scope you define. In the UAE, a POA must be notarized by a licensed notary public to carry legal validity.

Do I need a lawyer to create a POA?

No, a lawyer is not legally required to draft a Power of Attorney. However, legal review is strongly recommended for complex POAs, especially those involving property transactions, cross-border use, or corporate authority. Our notaries review every document to confirm it meets UAE legal standards before notarization.

Can I use a UAE POA abroad?

Yes. A UAE-issued Power of Attorney can be used internationally, but it typically requires apostille certification or embassy legalization depending on the destination country. We handle the full authentication process, including MOFA attestation and consulate verification where needed.

How long is a POA valid?

Validity depends on the terms specified in the document. A POA can be set for a fixed duration or remain valid until revoked. It may be revocable, meaning you can cancel it at any time, or irrevocable, which locks certain powers for a defined period. Our team advises on the right structure for your needs.
