Why a Power of Attorney Should Be Done
A Power of Attorney protects your ability to manage essential tasks even when you’re physically absent or legally restricted from acting. In the UAE, many procedures — like real estate deals, vehicle transfers, or company management — often require a PoA. Having one in place avoids delays, ensures business continuity, and gives peace of mind that your affairs are in trusted hands.
What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives one person (the agent) the authority to act on behalf of another (the principal) in specific or general matters. This may include signing contracts, managing assets, appearing before courts, or handling government paperwork. The document’s scope, duration, and use must be clearly defined and legally drafted to be enforceable.
