A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone else the authority to act on your behalf, make decisions, and carry out actions in your name. In Dubai, the POA must be drafted and executed in accordance with the laws and regulations of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Here are the steps involved in drafting a POA in Dubai:
Determine the purpose and scope of the POA: Decide what tasks or responsibilities you want the attorney-in-fact to carry out on your behalf. This will help you determine the type of POA you need and its scope of authority.
Choose an attorney-in-fact: Select someone you trust to act as your attorney-in-fact. This person should be reliable, trustworthy, and competent to handle the responsibilities you are delegating to them.
Draft the POA: The POA should include the names and signatures of both the principal (the person granting the authority) and the attorney-in-fact. The POA should also specify the scope of the attorney-in-fact’s authority and any limitations or restrictions on that authority.
Have the POA notarized: The POA must be notarized by a UAE-registered notary public.
Attest the POA: The POA must be attested by the UAE Embassy or Consulate in the country where it was signed.
Legalize the POA: The POA must be legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dubai before it can be used in the UAE.
