If you reside in the UAE, a share purchase power of attorney can be signed before a Notary Public in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Ajman or Um Al Quwain. Regardless of the place of signing within the UAE, a share purchase power of attorney remains valid throughout the UAE.
We provide end-to-end assistance on preparing and notarizing the power of attorney in the UAE.
