What Is a Real Estate Power of Attorney?
A Real Estate Power of Attorney is a notarized legal document authorizing your agent to act on your behalf in matters related to your property in Dubai.
It is specific to real estate transactions, making it more accurate and safer than a general POA for property-related matters. It may be issued for individuals, companies and licensed real estate agents.
Our real estate POA wording is prepared for acceptance by Dubai Land Department (DLD) and rental dispute authorities, with the property and authority requirements clearly reflected.

Sell the property and sign sale documents
Purchase property and register it in your name
Manage the property, maintenance and owner association matters
Lease the property, sign tenancy contracts, register Ejari and collect rent
Required Documents
Principal’s passport or Emirates ID
