Dear Questioner,

Please be informed that the POA is valid until the end of the client life.

If the client is abroad, not in the UAE, and he wants to cancel the POA, he can authorize a third party with a limitation task to terminate it.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope you are doing well?

Regarding your query, kindly be advised that a POA is valid for as long as it is not cancelled.

However, if it is a POA issued for a Real Estate transaction such as the sale of a property or mortgage, it will need to be re-stamped at the Notary public after a period of one year otherwise it may not be accepted for certain transactions.

Furthermore, please note that it is possible to revoke the POA from abroad either through a third party or virtually by yourself through the Dubai Notary public if issued in Dubai.

We can assist you through the process. You can reach me on my phone or email.

I look forward to hearing from you.
