Document background
The Power of Attorney Cancellation Letter is a crucial legal instrument in the United Arab Emirates used when a principal wishes to terminate the authority previously granted to another person or entity. This document becomes necessary when circumstances change, trust is lost, the purpose of the original POA has been fulfilled, or the principal wishes to appoint a different representative. The letter must comply with UAE Civil Code requirements and should clearly reference the original power of attorney details, including its date and registration number. It typically requires notarization by a UAE Notary Public and may need Arabic translation for local authorities. The document serves as official notice to all concerned parties that the attorney-in-fact no longer has authority to act on the principal's behalf, and it may need to be registered with relevant government authorities to ensure proper recording of the cancellation.
