Dubai Courts' guidance requires foreign-issued documents to carry the relevant home-country, UAE-embassy and UAE foreign-ministry attestations, and non-Arabic documents need an approved legal translation. Confirm the current route for the issuing country and receiving authority; remote notarization eligibility should not be assumed.
A sale needs a special power of attorney covering that type of transaction; broad management wording is insufficient. Identify the property and review powers to receive the price, discharge mortgages and appoint substitutes. Confirm scope and validity with DLD or its registration trustee.
Specify where proceeds are paid and require statements and receipts; for management, set reporting and spending limits. Keep the formal authority consistent with private instructions. If both agent and counterparty are unaware that authority ended, the owner may still be bound.
A practical next step
Have the wording, title and identity documents checked before notarization. Later revocation needs proper procedure and notification; unilateral revocation may be restricted where the agency protects another person’s rights or was granted for the agent’s benefit.
