Scope & Responsibilities

poaforproperty.ae is a reference resource on Powers of Attorney for property transactions in Dubai. The site explains the layered legal framework governing property POAs — the UAE Civil Transactions Law, the federal notary regime and DLD’s guidance on property POAs (Circular No. 29/R/2025) — and the practical drafting, verification and acceptance discipline that helps a property POA be accepted at the Real Estate Registration Trustee.
The site is operated by Cendale Documents Clearing Services FZCO under Trade Licence 78065 (IFZA). It is an independent informational resource. It is not a Dubai Land Department site, not a RERA site, not a Ministry of Justice site, and not affiliated with any UAE government authority or any notarial body.
 
What this site covers
Property POAs as an instrument under UAE practice — the three-layer legal framework, transaction-specific wording under DLD’s current guidance across sale, purchase, gift, mortgage, usufruct and musataha, verification through the issuing authority’s official platform, the foreign-issued POA regime including DLD’s acceptance limits and the UAE authentication route, the procedure for issuing a property POA, the sale-proceeds rules where an agent acts for the seller, special cases involving minors and interdicted persons, the General vs Special POA distinction in the property context, and revocation discipline.
 
What this site does not cover
The General POA as an abstract instrument is covered on generalpoa.ae. The cancellation procedure for any Power of Attorney is covered on poacancellation.ae. Digital notarisation channels and remote execution are covered on enotaryuae.ae. Foreign-document attestation in detail is covered on notarization.ae. End-to-end property transfer execution is covered on conveyance.ae. Drafting, notarisation, and lodging support for a Property Power of Attorney is delivered through poas.ae.
