A notarized document authorizing a representative to sign property documents on a buyer's behalf when they can't be in Dubai.
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a notarized legal document that authorizes a named representative to sign property documents (SPA, NOC, DLD transfer) on a buyer's behalf when the buyer cannot be physically present in Dubai for the transaction.
Most of Mario's European clients close their first deal remotely, using a POA. The document must be issued in the home country, attested by the UAE embassy, and then translated and notarized in Dubai. Total cost is typically AED 2,000 to AED 4,000 plus the home-country attestation fees. Mario provides clients with a standard template his Dubai notary accepts to keep the process clean.
Mario walks every European investor through these mechanics on the first call. The diligence trail is what separates a clean deal from a regret.
