Power of Attorney for Inheritance

Delegate Inheritance Proceedings in the UAE with a Legally Notarized POA

 

A Power of Attorney for Inheritance is a legal document that allows a legal heir to authorize another individual, law firm, or representative to act on their behalf in all matters related to the inheritance of a deceased person's estate in the UAE. This includes representation before courts, government authorities, and other relevant entities to manage the entire succession and probate process.

What Can a POA for Inheritance Do?

Using a Power of Attorney for Inheritance, the authorized person or firm can:

  • Represent one or more legal heirs before UAE courts or competent authorities

  • File for succession certificates or probate orders

  • Initiate or respond to inheritance claims

  • Distribute the deceased’s estate in accordance with applicable laws or a Will

  • Handle legal and administrative formalities on behalf of the heirs

  • Collect assets, transfer ownership, and settle liabilities

 

This document is especially valuable when heirs are unable to appear in person in the UAE, or when they prefer to appoint a professional to manage complex inheritance proceedings.

Who Needs This Type of POA?

You may need a Power of Attorney for Inheritance if:

  • You are residing outside the UAE and cannot attend court hearings or succession proceedings

  • You want to appoint a lawyer or legal representative to manage all inheritance-related matters

  • There are multiple heirs, and one person is designated to represent others

  • You need to act quickly and efficiently in claiming your legal share in the estate
