Choose a trustworthy and reliable individual to act as your agent. This person should be someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf.

• Consult a Professional:

Consult with a legal professional to draft your POA and to ensure that your document meets all legal requirements. Clearly communicate about the powers you are granting to the agent in the document. Be specific and comprehensive in describing the agent's authority.

• Provide Valid documents:

Provide all necessary documents including copy of yours and attorney's passport and Emirates ID , any additional documents that may be required depending on the POA or powers granted.

• Notarization:

Once the POA is successfully drafted and translated, review and confirm that the powers granted are as per your requirements. The POA then require notarization for it to be valid and be used. Visit a Notary Public or choose online notarization to have the document notarized, which involves verifying your identity and the authenticity of your signature.

• Distribution and Storage:

Provide copies of the executed and notarized Power of Attorney to your agent or attorney, and keep a copy for your records. Consider storing the document in a safe and accessible location.
