Special Power of Attorney

Limit authority to one task — selling a property, attending a court date, or signing a single contract.

A Special Power of Attorney limits the agent's powers to clearly defined acts — for example "to sell unit 1204 in Tower X" or "to represent me in case number Y at the Dubai Courts". Special POAs are preferred when you want maximum control.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does it take to get a Power of Attorney in the UAE?

If you are physically in the UAE with valid Emirates ID and passport, a POA can usually be drafted, translated, notarised and ready the same day or the next working day. POAs prepared overseas take longer because of the attestation chain (typically 1–3 weeks depending on your country).

Does a POA need to be in Arabic?

Yes. Any POA used inside the UAE must be in Arabic or bilingual (English-Arabic). The Arabic version is the legally binding one. We provide certified legal translation as part of the drafting service.

How much does a Power of Attorney cost in the UAE?

Costs vary by emirate and POA type. Dubai Courts notary fees typically range from AED 220 to AED 2,000+ depending on the POA's monetary scope. Drafting and translation are separate. Send us your requirement on WhatsApp for an exact quote.

Can I make a POA from abroad without flying to the UAE?

Yes. The POA must be signed before a notary in your country, then attested by your country's foreign affairs ministry, then by the UAE Embassy in that country, and finally by MOFA UAE once it arrives here. We coordinate the entire chain.

Can a Power of Attorney be revoked?

Yes. The principal can revoke a POA at any time by executing a Revocation Deed before a UAE notary and formally notifying the agent and any third parties relying on the POA (banks, DLD, courts, etc.). We handle revocations as well as new drafts.
