Q: Good morning,
I am looking to possibly hire a lawyer for a number of tasks. I live in Saudi Arabia but my husband wants to give me POA for his apartment in Dubai as we need to complete registration papers for same.
Also, we need to draw up wills to pass on our properties in Dubai to our kids. Oh, I am Irish and my husband is Saudi, also I am seeking advice re rental contract for my tenant, if possible obtaining 6 months only.
We plan to move to Dubai summer 2018. How do I obtain Residence visa as a home owner? I believe our kids can stay there without visa as per GCC.
Sorry for all this, that is why I think we need to hire services as opposed to advice.
Hoping that you can assist us or direct us.
Many thanks in advance,
Ann

Can I change my current visa to the 10-year golden visa if I own a property?

2
Q: Hello,
For one year I have had a 5-year visa (I have to be in the UAE every 180 days) under the old visa rules as I bought a property for AED 11,000,000 last year.
Can I change my current visa to the 10-year golden visa (which lets you be absent from the UAE for longer than 180 consecutive days)?
Because the new rules state that the property has to be AED 2,000,000 for the golden visa.

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment? 0
Hello sir,
Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.
My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.

Tenant demanding more than RDC verdict. Must I pay before the execution file is issued? 0
Good day,
I am a landlord, and my tenant filed a case with the RDC. The verdict was in his favor, and I am to pay the financial claim, which is the fees and expenses of the case.
The tenant asked for a specific amount, which is higher than the official receipt that the RDC provided. So, I have paid that exact amount directly to the tenant.
Naturally, the tenant asked for more. May I ask for guidance regarding the procedure?
It has not been 15 days since the verdict, so I have been told by the RDC that the case is not final, and I must wait for the execution file to determine the exact amount.
While I am happy to wait for that, my tenant has been threatening to open an execution file if I do not pay before the 15th day. She mentioned a travel ban as well. I feel lost and uncomfortable with the situation.
Please help me understand the procedure.

How to waive or reduce the penalty for my expired company license and cancel it? 0
Dear Lawyer
I hope this message finds you well.
I set up a business license in a free zone in 2023. Unfortunately, the license expired in September 2024, and due to being occupied with other matters, I was not aware of the penalties associated with the expiration.
I recently attempted to cancel the license but was informed that a significant penalty has accrued. When I inquired about cancelling my visa first, I was told that it’s not possible to proceed without addressing the license issue.
Could you please advise if there is any legal way to waive or reduce this penalty?
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this situation with minimal cost.

After acquittals by the first instance and appeals courts, can the case still go to the Court of Cassation? 0
Hello,
This is regarding an enquiry about a case where we were acquitted by the first instance court, that is, the trial court.
The prosecution appealed the judgment, and we also received an acquittal verdict from the misdemeanour appeal court.
I know there are still 30 days, but what are the chances it can be appealed to the Court of Cassation?
