Power of Attorney & Wills
Avoid Mistakes that Weaken Your Documents — Consult an Expert for Assistance.
Legal instruments such as powers of attorney and wills must adhere to UAE regulations to be considered valid. Both documents, in particular, require notarization to be legally binding and enforceable.
Notarization serves as an official validation, ensuring the appropriate authorities legally recognize these documents.
The preparation, authentication, and registration of these legal documents are essential for both residents and foreign citizens in the UAE. These steps help secure asset protection, facilitate business management and allow for the structured distribution of property in the future.

Powers of Attorney
A Power of Attorney (POA) allows an individual to authorize another person to act on their behalf regarding personal, financial, or legal affairs. In the UAE, a notarized POA, often with an Arabic translation, is necessary for handling property, business transactions, or financial accounts. Specific and general POAs provide flexible ways to delegate authority safely and reliably.
Wills
A legally valid will ensure that your estate is distributed according to your intentions rather than being subject to UAE inheritance laws.
Non-Muslim individuals can choose which legal system applies to their will, designate guardians, and prevent account freezing. Wills can be registered either with an Emirati notary, which requires Arabic translation or through the DIFC Wills and Probate Registry in English, with both options allowing for remote execution.
