Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a notary for all three services?
Yes, all three services require notarisation at an approved authority. The specific notary office depends on the service type and your personal circumstances. We identify the right authority and manage the process on your behalf.
Can I use the same notary authority for a Will, a POA, and document legalisation?
Not always. Wills are registered at DIFC, ADJD, or Dubai Courts depending on your situation. POAs are notarised at UAE notary offices or courts. Document legalisation goes through MOFA and, where required, the relevant embassy. We manage the routing for each service.
Do I need to be physically present in the UAE to use these services?
For Will registration and POA notarisation, physical presence is typically required at least once. Document legalisation can often be handled fully remotely. We confirm the exact requirements after reviewing your specific situation.
How long does each service take?
A Will is typically completed in three to five business days. A POA can be ready within one to two business days. Document legalisation takes three to seven business days depending on document type and destination country.
Can all three services be handled at the same time?
Yes. If you need more than one service, we coordinate them together. Bundling services often reduces the total time and number of visits required. We assess your full situation and plan the process accordingly.
