Hello,

According to UAE law, your husband can attend the hearing on your behalf in the Dubai Land Court. However, if there is a need to submit documents or legal signatures, he will require a power of attorney.

He can contact us via WhatsApp for specialized legal advice, as we are experts in such cases.

Thank you for reaching out with your question!

In general, under UAE law, a party involved in a legal case cannot be represented in court by someone else unless they have been granted a Power of Attorney (POA).

For the Dubai Land Court hearing, your husband would typically need a POA to attend and represent you on your behalf.

However, if you are unable to attend in person, you may issue a POA specifically for this hearing or for broader representation, depending on your needs.

This POA will allow him to act on your behalf in front of the court. Without it, he would not be permitted to speak or represent you in the hearing.

If you'd like assistance in preparing the POA or any further legal guidance regarding your case, feel free to reach out. I would be happy to help you.

Please don't hesitate to contact me through WhatsApp or phone at [------------], or email at [------------] to discuss this matter further.

Best regards,

We have proof in my email inbox, but all correspondence is in English. Is it necessary to translate it into Arabic? My husband knows Arabic and can translate it.

Will you handle the translation with legal attestation?

10 Feb 2025, 13:44

Notarized POA would be required in Arabic.

10 Feb 2025, 13:53

Sir, I have documents that I want to present to the court as proof, but all communication is in English.

My husband knows Arabic and can translate them. I want to know about the Arabic translation. Is it necessary to have it legally attested?

Yes.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for reaching out regarding your upcoming hearing at the Dubai Land Court.

To address your question, generally, if you wish for your husband to attend the hearing on your behalf, a Power of Attorney (POA) would be required. This will authorize him to represent you in the case and act on your behalf during the proceedings.

However, there may be certain exceptions depending on the type of hearing and the court's specific procedures.

Some courts may allow the attendance of a spouse without the need for a POA for more procedural matters or depending on the nature of the case.

To ensure there are no complications and that your husband can fully represent you, it is advisable to grant him a POA.

This will provide clear authority for him to attend, make statements, and take necessary actions on your behalf during the hearing.

If you would like assistance in drafting the POA or have any further questions regarding the court procedure, please let me know, and I would be happy to assist you.

Best regards,

We will do that on his behalf.

Greetings,

Your husband cannot attend the hearing on your behalf unless he has a registered Power of Attorney (POA) authorizing him to represent you in court. Without a POA, only you or a licensed lawyer can attend and present your case.

To ensure proper legal representation and avoid complications, book a consultation with us!

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Your husband cannot attend the Dubai Land Court hearing on your behalf without a Power of Attorney (POA).

To represent you, he must have a valid POA specifically authorizing him to act in legal proceedings. To allow this:

1. Obtain a POA: Have it drafted and notarized, clearly stating your husband's authority for this case.

2. Translate and attest: Ensure it's in Arabic or officially translated and attested.

3. Present at court: Your husband must show the POA at the first hearing.

Without a POA, he can't legally represent you or make decisions about your case. It's crucial to have proper documentation to protect your interests and ensure the court recognizes its authority to act for you.

You can contact us via WhatsApp for further clarification or additional support. We are dedicated to providing professional, timely, and comprehensive assistance tailored to your situation.

Thank you!

Yes, it's necessary to translate your English email evidence into Arabic for Dubai Land Court.

While your husband knows Arabic, courts typically require official, certified translations.

We offer professional translation and legal attestation services to ensure your evidence is properly presented and accepted by the court. This reduces the risk of challenges based on translation issues. Contact us for a quote.

Generally, representing someone in legal proceedings requires formal authorization. This is usually done through a Power of Attorney (POA).

The judge has the final say on who can represent a party in their court. Even if your husband is your representative, the judge might require formal documentation.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.
