Questions & Answers
Can I charge my friend with breach of trust for not sending money from my property sale?
Hello,
I gave an online POA to my friend, who has a UAE residence visa, to sell my property. I gave another online POA to his brother to receive money on my behalf. I do not have a residence visa.
They did not provide me with a copy of the POAs. He sold my property in JLT, and his brother received the money, but they did not send the money to me.
Can I now open a case against them with the charge of "breach of trust" or any other charge that suits this case?
Thanks a lot!

Dear Inquirer,
Yes, you can file a case against your friend and his brother for "breach of trust" if they did not send you the money after selling the property.
You will need to provide evidence showing you had given them a Power of Attorney (POA) and they did not fulfill their duties as per the POA.

Hi dear,
According to UAE law, a Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows an individual (the principal) to appoint someone else (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on their behalf in legal and financial matters.
In your case, you have given two separate POAs to two different individuals to sell your property and receive money on your behalf.
Based on the information provided, it appears that your friend and his brother have breached the trust you placed in them by not providing you with a copy of the POAs and not sending you the money from the sale of your property.
This could potentially be considered a breach of trust, which is a criminal offense under UAE law.
You may file a case against them for breach of trust, but it is advisable to first try to resolve the issue.
If that is not successful, you can file a criminal complaint with the police or/and a civil case with the courts. It is important to note that the burden of proof will be on you to prove that they have breached the trust placed in them.
In addition to breach of trust, you may also consider filing a case for fraud or misappropriation of funds. It is recommended that you appoint a lawyer who is familiar with UAE laws.
