A General Power of Attorney (GPOA) appoints an agent to act on your behalf across multiple ongoing matters, rather than one single transaction. It’s designed for situations where you need continuity — not a one-off signature.

What it’s commonly used for

A General POA is typically suitable for:

• general representation when you are abroad or unavailable
• administrative follow-ups and practical matters (where broad authority is accepted)
• managing day-to-day affairs that require ongoing authority
• signing routine documents on your behalf, where permitted

What it’s not designed for (important)

A General POA is not automatically accepted for every high-risk or tightly regulated action — even if the wording is broad.
You may need a Special POA (task-specific wording) for:

• selling / transferring property (often requires explicit “sell/transfer” authority and property details)
• certain bank actions (banks often require specific clauses and may require their own forms)
• court / litigation representation (typically needs litigation-specific authority)
• company matters (usually requires a Corporate POA plus supporting company documents)
• any action where the recipient requires exact wording for compliance

What you get (included)

• POA suitability check (General vs Special, plus scope confirmation)
• Drafting aligned to typical UAE acceptance requirements
• Notarisation route coordination (based on your location)
• Document checklist and clear submission steps
• Digital delivery once executed

What we need from you

To confirm the right structure quickly, you’ll be asked for:

• passport copy (principal)
• Emirates ID (if applicable)
• passport / Emirates ID (agent)
• a short description of what you want the agent to do
• recipient requirements (bank / authority name), if relevant

How we prevent rejection

Before drafting, we confirm:

• whether General POA is the correct structure (or if you need Special / Corporate / Litigation wording)
• the scope language that matches your intended use
• the correct execution route based on where you are signing (UAE or abroad), including attestation/legalisation where required.

If General POA isn’t suitable for your purpose, we’ll tell you before you commit.
