Hello, I submitted an offer and deposit through the trustee office, but the owner rejected it. What is the next step? They sent an email notification stating that if not renewed within the contract's end time, 500 AED will be deducted for each additional day of stay.

I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company. During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge. The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged. No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case. I need clarification on the following points: How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company? Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban? Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options? What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation? I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

Hello. We have 2 tourism LLC companies registered in Dubai, UAE. Nr. 1 is registered as the main office on the trade license and Nr. 2 is registered as a branch office on the trade license. We want to close the main office and shift the main office to Nr. 2 which is currently the branch office. We have been told that it's not possible since the trade licenses can't supersede each other. Does any lawyer know a way to shift these offices without facing any financial and legal trouble?

Dear sir/madam, My father recently passed away in India and we would like to obtain a succession certificate in order to have his funds released from a Dubai-based bank. My mother and my 2 siblings are UK nationals living in the UK. I am aware that we need to provide our passport copies, a certified death certificate (UAE Embassy in India), and two male witnesses to confirm our family members. My questions are the following: 1. Do the two male witnesses have to be UAE nationals? Or can they be British nationals? 2. Will they be required to attend a Dubai court? Or can they confirm remotely via letter/email or phone? I would be most grateful for your assistance. Thank you for your time!
