Revocation of Power of Attorney

Cancel or Revoke an Existing POA with Legal Certainty.

​

If your situation has changed and you no longer wish someone to act on your behalf, a Revocation of Power of Attorney is the legal document you need. This formal revocation cancels any powers granted under a previously issued Power of Attorney, ensuring it is no longer valid or enforceable.

Why Revoke a Power of Attorney?

You may have created a POA with the best intentions, but circumstances change. You might:

  • No longer need an agent to act on your behalf

  • Wish to replace your current agent with someone else

  • Have lost trust in the person you appointed

  • Be resuming control over your own affairs

  • Need to terminate the POA to avoid unauthorized actions

 

In all these cases, a written and notarized Revocation of POA is required to protect your legal rights.

What is a Revocation of POA?

A Revocation of Power of Attorney is a notarized legal notice declaring that a previously issued POA is now cancelled and void. This document can be used to:

  • Revoke general or special powers of attorney

  • Notify banks, government offices, or private entities about cancellation

  • Prevent misuse of authority by the previous agent

  • Prepare for issuing a new Power of Attorney

When to Use a POA Revocation

Use this service if:

  • You are cancelling an active Power of Attorney

  • You’re preparing to assign a new agent

  • You’ve completed the transaction or task for which the original POA was issued

  • You want to legally terminate your agent’s rights before they act further

Important Legal Considerations

  • To be legally enforceable in the UAE, your revocation must:

  • Be drafted in Arabic (or Arabic + English bilingual)

  • Be notarized by a UAE Notary Public

  • Be delivered via registered mail or Notary Public bailiff to:

    • The appointed agent

    • Any third parties (e.g. banks, developers, embassies) the agent was dealing with.

​

Verbal cancellations or informal notices are not valid, A properly notarized revocation is mandatory.
