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

Unregulated Forex scam in UAE: Should we hire a lawyer or report to the police?
