Power Of Attorney
A power of attorney, or POA, is an agreement that allows one person or company (the grantor) to authorize another person or company (the attorney-in-fact or agent) to act on their behalf. POA can be used for a variety of purposes, including business and financial matters.
In the United Arab Emirates, a power of attomey must be granted by an individual who is at least 21 years old and mentally competent. For foreign business owners, a foreign power of attomey must also be translated into Arabic and then authenticated by UAE authorities. Lawyers in Dubai can assist with these formalities.
