Can someone sell my property in the UAE using a power of attorney?

Yes — someone can sell your UAE property using a power of attorney, but only if the POA specifically authorises the sale. Land authorities such as the Dubai Land Department interpret property POAs strictly and generally require a notarised POA naming the power to sell and, often, the specific property; a vague general authority may not be accepted. Draft it carefully: you can limit it to a named buyer, a minimum price, or a time period, and revoke it before the sale completes. The land department may also require an approved form and Arabic translation. Full guide: Power of attorney in the UAE. Before signing, compare verified lawyers on LEXAI.
