What Is a Family Power of Attorney?
A Family Power of Attorney (POA) authorises a trusted person in Egypt — usually a lawyer or family member — to handle
your family-related legal matters while you remain abroad. It can cover marriage contracts, divorce registration, custody claims,
inheritance declarations, and related court actions. Once legalised, it carries the same authority as if you were present in person.
Each POA is bilingual (Arabic–English), ensuring that you fully understand every clause while meeting the formal requirements
of Egyptian Family Courts and the Ministry of Justice.
Who Can Use It?
- Egyptian citizens living abroad who need to manage family cases inside Egypt.
- Foreign nationals married to Egyptians seeking official representation.
- Dual citizens who cannot travel but must finalise procedures in Egypt.
The Family Power of Attorney Egypt system is recognised across all family courts in Egypt, provided the document
bears either a valid apostille (for Hague countries) or consular legalisation (for others).
How It Works — Step-by-Step Process
- Consultation: We confirm which powers you need — marriage, divorce, custody, or inheritance.
- Drafting: A bilingual draft (Arabic primary + English copy) is prepared and sent for your approval.
- Signature Abroad: You sign before the Egyptian Embassy or a local notary public (for apostille countries).
- Legalisation: The document is stamped either by the Foreign Office or the Egyptian Consulate.
- Execution in Egypt: Once received, the lawyers the company cooperates with in Egypt register and activate it immediately.
This structure avoids travel, delays, and miscommunication — giving your representative full authority to act on your behalf before the court or notary.
Documents Required
- Passport or Egyptian ID (for identification).
- Full personal details of the appointed representative in Egypt.
- Marriage/divorce certificates or birth certificates (where relevant).
- Proof of residence abroad (for embassy forms).
Each case may require additional documents depending on the power granted. Our team reviews your draft before legalisation to ensure full compliance.
Legalisation & Apostille for UK → Egypt
For UK-based clients, the process involves notarisation by a UK notary public, followed by an apostille from the FCDO
or legalisation by the Egyptian Consulate. The result is a document that the Egyptian Family Court recognises as valid and enforceable.
We coordinate the entire UK–Egypt legalisation chain, ensuring that your Family Power of Attorney Egypt meets
every procedural and linguistic requirement.
