POA Cancellation Dubai 2026
We officially revoke and cancel any Power of Attorney previously issued in Dubai through UAE Notary Public channels. This immediate legal action protects you as the principal from any unauthorized future use or financial misuse by the agent.
The Risk of Not Canceling
Verbal agreements to stop using a POA have zero legal standing. Until a POA is legally and formally revoked at the Notary Public, the agent retains full authority to bind you to contracts, sell property, or access funds. Do not leave active POAs unattended.
When Should You Cancel a POA?
- The specific task or purpose of the POA has been successfully completed.
- You suspect the agent is misusing their powers against your interests.
- The business or personal relationship with the agent has ended.
Direct Notarial Cancellation
If the POA was issued by a Dubai Notary, we process a direct cancellation document through the Dubai Courts system.
Legal Notice (Tableegh)
We draft and serve a notarized Legal Notice to the agent informing them that their powers are immediately revoked and demanding the return of the original document.
Does the agent need to be present?
No. You have the absolute right to cancel a POA unilaterally. The agent does not need to be present, sign anything, or even agree to the cancellation. We handle the official notification to them on your behalf.
Canceling POAs Issued Abroad
If your POA was issued outside the UAE but is being used here, it cannot be directly deleted from the Dubai Courts system. Instead, we serve a legally binding Notarial Notice to the agent and relevant UAE entities (like banks or the Land Department) prohibiting them from accepting the document.
Documents Required for Cancellation
- A copy of the existing Power of Attorney you wish to cancel.
- Your valid Passport or Emirates ID.
- The agent's address or contact details (for Legal Notice delivery).
Under UAE Law, an agency relationship terminates upon completion of the task, expiration of the term, or explicit revocation by the principal. The revocation must be formally documented and communicated to protect the principal from third-party claims.
