A power of attorney is a written legal instrument that the person who signs it, known as the “principal,” uses to empower another person, known as the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact,” to represent the principle before third parties. Depending on the power of attorney, the agent may generally be a family member, friend, partner, coworker, or attorney.
The distinction between a personal and commercial power of attorney in the UAE must be understood.
An individual may give someone a personal power of attorney, in which case the principal delegated basic or special rights to the agent. People frequently use this kind of power of attorney to ensure that work is completed in the circumstances like illness or incapacity when the principal is away from home or cannot be present to sign necessary legal papers.
A firm may grant a business power of attorney to an employee or other third party so they can handle general or particular business transactions on the company’s behalf.

This kind of power of attorney is given to the general manager of the firm by the owner(s) to enable the general manager to oversee the business’s daily operations. The particular transactions that the general manager may be permitted to carry out on the company’s behalf to guarantee smooth operations are also listed in this power of attorney.

The document must be created and validated correctly in one of the following ways for the POA to be accepted by various state agencies in the UAE:
Once you have signed a power of attorney for Company Management, the notary public will instantly stamp and record one original in the court’s official records, completing the notarization procedure and returning two originals to you.

The power of attorney for Company Management must be created either in Arabic-only format or in English and Arabic. A power of attorney should be carefully prepared and include all the authority the agent needs to act on your behalf. The effort and money spent drafting and notarizing a power of attorney may be wasted if third parties and government agencies reject it for failing to utilize properly defined wording and include all relevant authorities.
You must sign your power of attorney in person before a notary public in the UAE at this phase. The notarization of a power of attorney is frequently used to describe this procedure. You must appear in person before the notary public to sign or have a power of attorney notarized. There is no requirement that your agent appears before the notary.
The notary public will notarize a power of attorney upon your signature, return two (2) originals to you, and promptly stamp and register one (1) original in the court’s official records.
A power of attorney will then be able to be used by your agent lawfully when this is completed.
