Q: Good day, My brother passed away on May 12, 2018, in the Philippines while he was on vacation. He owns a car here in Dubai. I would like to ask what are the legal step-by-step actions for the car to be transferred under my name. I hope you can help me with this since it's almost 2 years now.

Q: I have signed a security cheque for a car loan on behalf of POA General of a company. Now, I have left the company one year ago and the POA is not valid. But recently, the security cheque has bounced and I got a warrant from the court. I am not the partner and I don't have any relation with the company. Please advise.

Q: How long is a "General POA for Cases" in the UAE valid? Is there any expiry date? Is it possible to revoke this specific POA from abroad, without being in the UAE?

Q: I have moved to Canada permanently from Dubai. I have a car back in Dubai which is under my name and I need to transfer the ownership to my brother's name. The car has no outstanding fees or payments. Its insurance and Mulkiya (license) are still valid. How can I transfer the ownership without having to visit Dubai?

Q: Hello. My brother passed away in the hospital in Abu Dhabi in May 2020 due to a medical emergency. The company made all the arrangements; my brother was buried in the Philippines. Due to COVID, my brother's employment contract and other belongings were not endorsed, his wife didn’t have a copy. My sister-in-law is not there in Abu Dhabi. Her trip was provided by the company. There’s so much to do and process, she’s struggling right now and facing difficulty in dealing with the legal department, and navigating all the requirements. Have already reached out to Philippine Embassy, still not helpful. Will it be better to hire a lawyer and assist with the insurance claim and employment benefits? My sister-in-law has a chronic condition and has 2 very young kids. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Q: My friend needs a POA. The issuer of the POA is in India and is an Indian National and does not have a UAE residency. The receiver of the POA is in the UAE and is Indian National with a UAE residence visa. The POA is needed for the sale/rent/eviction of a specific property. Is the POA by a non-resident accepted in the UAE courts, or only the old method of Indian POA with MOFA and translation to be done?

Q: Sir, I would like to give a special power of attorney (made online as I am out of the UAE) to an agent in the UAE for my trade license (to sell & purchase the company). But my visa & Emirates ID expired on Dec 25, 2021. My question is, will it be possible to do a power of attorney online with my passport instead of Emirates ID? Also, if it's possible, can I directly appear in court for selling or signing a share transfer agreement or amendment in MOA for the purpose of selling with my passport?

Q: Hello, Can I sell a car that is not registered in my name if the owner is abroad?
