Dubai POA, Wills and Property Documentation for International Investors

Power of Attorney

A POA can help with selected remote transaction/administrative steps when correctly drafted, executed, legalised/notarised where required and accepted by the relevant authority/party. Scope should be limited to the required purpose.

Title / Oqood / SPA

Understand which record/document proves your rights at each stage: off-plan contract/project registration vs completed title ownership.

Wills / estate planning

International owners should consider how UAE property fits into their overall estate plan. The appropriate will/estate route depends on the owner, family circumstances, ownership structure and applicable law.

Corporate ownership

Where a company owns property, beneficial ownership, board/shareholder authority and entity documents may be relevant.

Document handling

Cross-border documents can require notarisation, attestation/legalisation or translation. Requirements should be checked for the specific use.

Do not use general web forms for sensitive documents

KYC, passports, bank statements and source-of-funds evidence should move through the secured transaction channel, not the public contact form. See Legal & Documentation.
