Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a general and a specific power of attorney?
A general power of attorney grants broad authority across matters, while a specific power of attorney is limited to a defined transaction or purpose.
Can a power of attorney signed abroad be used in the UAE?
Often yes, once it has been through the appropriate attestation and legalisation process for use in the UAE.
Does a power of attorney need to be notarised?
Most powers of attorney used in the UAE need to be notarised, and in some cases registered, to be recognised by authorities and third parties.
Can a power of attorney be revoked?
Yes, a power of attorney can generally be revoked, though the revocation itself typically needs to be formally documented and communicated to relevant parties.
