Q: I am a Bahraini national and have a Dubai residence visa also (Emirates ID I mean). I have registered a case through one of my staff at Dubai police and was being updated on developments by this staff. However, he has resigned and is unreachable, and the Dubai police will update/pass information only to that person. Can I give someone else an authorization letter stating that he can represent me and my offices/properties and that the previous person no longer represents me? Please help me with your valuable advice!

س: حررت توكيل عام لزوجتي منذ عشر سنوات وكان بخط اليد وليس معي صورة منه ولا أتذكر تاريخه. أنا خارج البلاد الآن وأريد إلغاؤه. هل يصلح الإلغاء بدون صورة التوكيل؟

Q: I have been appointed as a POA holder by the boss/owner of my company to act on his behalf. He told us that he would help us in all the financial aid from USA (where he is residing) and we just need to run the operations here in the UAE. However, it's been quite a while where we have not received any support /financial assistance from him and there are a lot of unpaid bills pending here. I would like to know if I cancel my POA, can I get away from this mess or I will still be liable to pay and be penalized?
