Power of attorney Egypt property — safe use for foreign buyers
A power of attorney Egypt property authorises a trusted representative to act on your behalf — sign contracts, submit filings, and attend procedures — yet it does not replace title verification or remove the need for clear conditions in the sale agreement. The safest PoA is bilingual, property-specific, and time-limited, with itemised powers that match the steps you actually need (buy/sell, file applications, receive documents) and an explicit ban on sub-delegation unless you truly require it.
Practically, you’ll follow a simple chain: notarise the PoA in your country of residence, obtain an apostille (or consular legalisation if your country isn’t in the Hague list), then arrange a certified Arabic translation for use with registries, courts, and banks in Egypt. Names must match passports and previous deeds exactly to avoid remarks.
Even with a power of attorney Egypt property, never release deposits blindly. Link payments to evidence — clean searches, dues clearance, and verified authority — so your representative signs only when the file is truly ready.
Notarisation, apostille and embassy route
- Notarise the PoA locally; include the property reference and national IDs or passport numbers.
- Apostille if the issuing country is a Hague member; otherwise pursue consular legalisation.
- Certified Arabic translation for Egyptian courts and registries — attach the apostille or legalisation page.
- File and use with originals; keep extra certified sets for banks and recordal.
If you’re unsure whether to use apostille or consular legalisation, check the Hague status list or contact us for a quick route map.
Drafting a bilingual power of attorney Egypt property safely
- Scope-limited powers: buy or sell, receive title documents, file applications, collect registered copies.
- Asset-specific: address, coordinates, unit or plot references; avoid blanket phrases covering “all my properties”.
- Time-limited: start and end dates with clear revocation language; no sub-delegation unless genuinely required.
- Funds control: if the PoA must receive funds, cap the amount, purpose, and bank details; otherwise exclude this power.
- Identity and capacity: principal and attorney details, plus corporate authority where a company grants or receives the PoA.
These points keep a power of attorney Egypt property acceptable to counterparties while minimising misuse risk.
Using the PoA with contracts and deposits
Treat the PoA as a signing mechanism — not a substitute for due diligence. Stage deposits against evidence: clean registry searches, arrears settlement, and survey alignment. Include representations and undertakings, and require originals or certified copies at completion.
For off-plan or developer allocations, have your attorney verify project status, association dues, and delivery minutes before signing, and insert conditions precedent that match those checkpoints.
Revoking or limiting a power of attorney
- Execute a notarised revocation (and apostille or legalise if issued abroad).
- Notify counterparties and authorities where the PoA was used; obtain acknowledgement of receipt.
- Record the revocation with any registry or court where the PoA is on file.
Keep a paper trail; revocation takes effect against third parties when they are on notice or when the revocation is recorded where relevant.
