How can I revoke a power of attorney in the UAE?

You can revoke a power of attorney (POA) in the UAE at any time — the principal keeps the right to withdraw the authority. Revocation is normally done before the same notary public department that notarised the original POA: attend with your ID and request formal cancellation. Notify the agent and any institutions that relied on the POA in writing, since actions completed before they are informed may still bind you. A POA also ends automatically on the principal's death or loss of legal capacity, completion of the task, or expiry. Full step-by-step guide: Power of attorney in the UAE. Concerned about misuse?
