A Power of Attorney (POA) is a crucial legal document that grants one person (the agent) the authority to act on behalf of another (the principal). Whether for personal or business matters, understanding its purpose and significance is essential.
Types of POA:
- General POA: Grants broad authority for various tasks, such as managing finances or properties.
- Specific POA: Limits authority to specific actions, like selling a property or signing a contract.
- Durable POA: Remains valid even if the principal becomes incapacitated.
Common Uses:
POAs are often used for managing real estate transactions, handling financial matters, or making healthcare decisions when the principal cannot act personally.
Legal Validity:
To be valid, a POA must be properly notarized and meet the legal requirements of the jurisdiction where it is executed, such as Dubai.
Choosing an Agent:
Selecting a trustworthy agent is crucial, as they will have significant control over the authorized matters.
Revocation:
A POA can be revoked at any time by the principal, provided they are mentally competent.
