Dear Questioner,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I understand the situation regarding your request to appoint a trusted person with Power of Attorney (POA) to manage your financial and legal matters during this time.
Below are the steps you need to take in order to grant POA while under a deportation order or in custody:
1. Drafting the POA Document:
The first step is to clearly define the scope of powers that you wish to grant to the appointed person.
This document should state precisely what authority the individual will have, including handling your finances, accessing your bank accounts, managing property, and dealing with legal obligations.
I recommend that we work together to ensure the document covers all relevant details to protect your interests.
2. Signing the POA:
Even while under custody, it is generally possible to sign the POA, but this may require coordination with the authorities managing your custody.
Depending on the regulations in place, you may be able to sign the POA in the presence of prison officials, or alternatively, you may provide an instruction to have the document signed on your behalf with a proper legal representative.
3. Notarization and Authentication:
Once the POA is signed, it must be notarized for it to be legally binding. Typically, the document will need to be notarized by a public notary in the UAE.
This step might need to be facilitated with the assistance of a lawyer or legal representative if you are unable to attend personally.
4. Registration of the POA:
Following notarization, the POA must be registered with the relevant UAE authorities, such as the Notary Public in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, depending on your place of residence.
If you are unable to attend the registration in person, I can assist with this step and ensure that the POA is duly registered.
5. Informing Relevant Institutions (e.g., Bank):
After the POA has been properly executed and registered, your appointed representative will be authorized to manage your financial and legal matters.
To facilitate this process, I recommend that you provide a copy of the POA to relevant institutions such as your bank, to ensure they recognize the appointed person as authorized to act on your behalf.
6. Conclusion:
The process of granting POA while under a deportation order and in custody can be completed successfully with proper legal assistance.
I will assist you in ensuring that all steps are followed according to the law to protect your interests.
Please let me know if you would like to proceed with drafting the POA document or need any additional assistance. I am here to help with every step of the process.

Hello,
In this situation, it is essential to coordinate with the management of the facility where the person is currently in custody to schedule an online appointment with the Notary Public for the preparation and execution of a Power of Attorney (POA).
The notarial process in the UAE allows for remote notarization, which can accommodate the individual’s current circumstances, provided all requirements are met.

Greetings of the day,
According to UAE law, a person under a deportation order can still appoint a trusted person with Power of Attorney (POA) to manage their financial and legal matters.
However, there are certain procedures that need to be followed in order to obtain and register the POA.
1. Obtain a POA form: The first step is to obtain a POA form from the relevant authorities. This can be done by visiting the Notary Public or the Dubai Courts website.
2. Fill out the form: The person under the deportation order should fill out the POA form with the necessary details, including the name and contact information of the trusted person, the scope of the POA, and the duration of the POA.
3. Get the POA notarized: The POA form must be notarized by the Notary Public or the Dubai Courts. This can be done by visiting their offices and submitting the form along with a copy of the deportation order and a valid ID.
4. Register the POA: The notarized POA must then be registered with the Dubai Courts. This can be done by visiting the Dubai Courts and submitting the notarized POA along with a copy of the deportation order and a valid ID.
5. Notify the relevant authorities: The person under the deportation order should also inform their bank and other relevant authorities about the POA and provide them with a copy of the notarized and registered POA.

Of course, my dear, he can apply for a general power of attorney that includes these powers that serve him and is not subject to any expiration date.
He can do this by having a notary public visit his cell, or a lawyer’s office can do it to facilitate the matter.

Yes, they can still provide the POA from jail and through which the POA can act on behalf of him.

Thank you for reaching out regarding your situation and your request to appoint a trusted individual with Power of Attorney (POA) while under a deportation order.
To address your question, it is possible for a person under a deportation order to grant a Power of Attorney, even if they are in custody.
The key steps in this process are as follows:
1. Choosing the Attorney-in-Fact:
First, the individual should select a trusted person to act as their attorney-in-fact. This person will be responsible for managing the financial and legal matters, including access to the bank accounts and fulfilling other obligations.
2. Drafting the POA Document:
The POA must be drafted in accordance with UAE law, ensuring that it covers all the required powers, including managing financial transactions, handling legal matters, and dealing with the bank accounts.
3. Execution of POA:
If the person is in custody, they must execute the POA while still incarcerated. This can be done at a notary public or at the relevant government office, and in some cases, the POA can also be executed through the Dubai Courts or another competent authority. This might require special arrangements, but it is certainly possible.
4. Attestation and Registration:
Once the POA document is signed, it must be attested by a notary public or through the Dubai Courts. It may need to be registered with the relevant authorities, such as the Dubai Land Department (for real estate matters) or the bank (for financial matters), to ensure its validity.
5. Special Considerations:
You should also consider whether any additional documents are required, such as identification or proof of the individual's situation, to ensure the POA is recognized by the authorities and financial institutions.
Given the complexity of your situation, I recommend that you take steps immediately to consult with an experienced attorney who can guide you through the proper legal process, ensuring all formalities are followed.
