Q: Dear Sir/Madam I issued a General Power of Attorney to someone for renting our property. (He and I own a property together in Dubai). Since he took the POA, He hasn't paid my share of rental and doesn't even answer my calls anymore! I don’t even know what has happened to our property or even to my share. (I think that he has stolen my share). I have sent several emails to agents that do business with him and asked them to give me all copies of tenancy contracts and all other documents about my property, but they haven't replied to my requests yet. I like to mention that He has taken all the copies of the POA and Deed of Property and I don’t have any copy of the Deed or POA. What shall I do? Thanks

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Is it possible for license partners to give power of attorney to another person to manage the business without the consent of the owner?

Q: Good afternoon, Our company has multiple partners, and every time we need to make changes or transactions that require their presence, it's very time-consuming and hectic. Is there a solution that can save us time? Perhaps a virtual Power of Attorney (POA) could be considered.

In view of the fact that the manager is primarily the point of reference for the company in the business streets, he is generally authorized by a power of attorney provided by the shareholders of the company or via the MOA of the company. In certain cases exceeding the powers given to the manager may make the manager, or the LLC itself, liable, depending on the nature of the manager’s actions.
