About Share Sale POA
A share sale power of attorney lets a shareholder give someone else the authority to sell and transfer their company shares, in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE. It is usually arranged when the shareholder cannot be in the country to handle the sale and transfer formalities.
The transfer usually has to be signed before a notary and recorded with the licensing authority. We make sure the POA identifies the shares and sets any conditions for the sale, and the powers below can be extended where needed.
Powers you can assign
- Sign the share sale and transfer agreements
- Sign the MoA, AoA and other amended company documents
- Attend shareholder meetings for you
- Represent you before the relevant authorities
- Attend the notary and licensing authority
- Receive the sale price
- Resign from company roles if needed

Share Sale POA
Your questions,
answered.
What is a share sale POA?
It is a legal document that lets a chosen representative sell your company shares for you. It is often used when the shareholder cannot attend the transfer in person.
Can I limit the POA to one sale?
Yes. You can restrict it to a named company, a named buyer and a set number of shares. That way, your attorney cannot go beyond that one transaction, and the risk of misuse is reduced.
Do all UAE licensing authorities accept a share sale POA?
Most do, but each has its own rules. For example, the DED, along with many free zones, expects the POA to name the authority and may need to approve the draft first. It is best to check with the authority involved.
What details should the POA include?
To avoid rejection, it should state the company’s name and licence number, the buyer’s name and details, the number and value of the shares, and the exact powers granted, such as signing the sale contract, filing forms and amending the licence.
Can I issue the POA from outside the UAE?
Yes. Have it notarized in your home country and attested by the UAE Embassy, followed by legalization at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and an official Arabic translation made in the UAE. The POA is only legally valid once all these steps are complete.
Can I set a minimum sale price?
Yes. You can include a minimum price or other conditions your representative must follow.
Can the POA cover resigning as manager?
Yes, if you are a manager and want to step down as part of the sale.
Is the sale valid without my own signature?
Yes, when your representative signs under a valid POA that covers the sale.
