Property Dispute Power of Attorney

Authorise a representative to handle a property dispute, with powers limited to the case.

Handling a dispute when you are not there

Property disputes involve deadlines, hearings and paperwork. If you live abroad or cannot attend, a Power of Attorney lets a lawyer or trusted representative act for you.

The risk is giving too much. We write the powers around the dispute itself, so the representative can file, attend and respond, while settlement and payment decisions stay with you unless you say otherwise.

What you will need to start

  • Passport and Emirates ID of the owner
  • Title deed or contract for the property
  • Details of the other party and the dispute
  • Name and ID details of your lawyer or representative
  • Any case number, if proceedings have started

What the document can cover

The powers are set to the task you actually need done. Anything not listed is not given.

  • Filing a complaint or claim
  • Attending hearings and meetings
  • Receiving notices and submitting documents
  • Negotiating, with or without authority to settle
  • Dealing with the developer, landlord or registry

How the process works

  1. Review the dispute. We look at the title deed or contract, the other party and the stage the matter has reached.
  2. Agree the powers. The representative can file, attend and respond. Settlement and payment decisions stay with you unless you say otherwise.
  3. Draft and review. We prepare the document and you, with your lawyer, approve the final wording.
  4. Notarise. You sign before a notary public with original identity documents.
  5. Translate, attest and deliver. If you are abroad, we arrange translation and attestation, then send the document to your representative.

What to check before you sign

  • Whether your lawyer wants specific powers named
  • The property is described exactly as the title records it
  • Settlement authority is given only if you intend it
  • How and when the authority will be revoked
