A POA Revocation / Cancellation is the process of formally withdrawing a Power of Attorney that you previously issued. This usually involves a revocation document executed through an accepted channel, plus practical steps to ensure third parties stop relying on the old POA.

What it’s commonly used for

This is commonly used when:

• you no longer want the agent to have authority
• the relationship or purpose has ended
• you are replacing an earlier POA with a new one
• a third party (bank, developer, authority) requires proof that the old POA is no longer valid

What revocation does (and what it doesn’t)

Revocation does:

• formally cancels the authority you granted to the agent (from the effective revocation point)
• creates a document you can present to banks/authorities/counterparties as evidence

Revocation doesn’t automatically:

• notify every third party who may have relied on the POA
• undo actions already taken under a valid POA before revocation
• override recipient-specific processes (some recipients require their own internal steps)

For practical protection, it’s often necessary to notify the agent and relevant recipients after revocation.

What you get (included)

• review of the POA being revoked (where available)
• confirmation of the correct revocation route (UAE or abroad)
• drafting of revocation wording aligned to typical UAE acceptance requirements
• notarisation route coordination (UAE or abroad)
• checklist for notifying relevant parties (where needed)
• digital delivery once executed

What we need from you

To revoke efficiently, we’ll usually ask for:

• a copy of the POA you want to revoke (if you have it)
• passport copy (principal) + Emirates ID (if applicable)
• details of the agent (name and ID if available)
• where the original POA was executed (UAE or abroad, if known)
• who needs to be notified (bank/authority/developer/counterparty), if relevant

How we reduce rejection risk

Before drafting, we confirm:

• the revocation is structured to match how the original POA was executed
• the correct execution route based on where you are signing (UAE or abroad), including attestation/legalisation where required
• whether any recipient is likely to require additional steps beyond the revocation document

If revocation isn’t the right step for your situation, we’ll tell you before you commit.
