A Power of Attorney (POA) lets you authorise a trusted person in Egypt to act on your behalf for property, banking, litigation, corporate, or family matters. For foreign clients and expatriate Arabs, enforceability depends on using Egypt-ready wording, correct bilingual drafting, and the right legalisation route. A well-formed POA prevents rejections at courts, banks, and registries, and reduces delays at the critical moment of signing or filing.

To draft a valid POA, you must clearly specify the powers granted, identify the principal and agent, and ensure the document complies with Egyptian legal requirements. It should be notarized to be legally enforceable.
Yes, you can appoint an agent residing abroad. However, the POA must be drafted carefully, notarized, and legalized to ensure acceptance by Egyptian authorities.
Typically, you need valid identification (passport or national ID) of the principal and agent, details of the powers granted, and any supporting documents related to the specific authority.
The drafting process can take a few days depending on complexity. Notarization and legalization usually add extra time, which can vary depending on location and involved authorities.
Egypt recognizes several types including general POAs, special or limited POAs, and durable POAs for specific purposes such as property management or business transactions.
A POA can be revoked by the principal at any time by issuing a formal revocation document, which should also be notarized and communicated to relevant parties.
Its validity internationally depends on proper legalization and sometimes apostille certification. Within Egypt, it must comply fully with local laws to be recognized.
While not mandatory, hiring a lawyer ensures your POA is legally sound, tailored to your needs, and reduces the risk of invalidation or misuse.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Egypt (POA services) additional legal support if needed.
The POA must be notarized by a certified notary, then legalized by the relevant embassy or consulate of the country where it will be used, sometimes requiring an apostille depending on international agreements.
Yes, a properly drafted POA can authorize an agent to sell real estate on your behalf, but it must explicitly include this power and comply with all legal formalities.
If an agent misuses their powers, the principal can revoke the POA and take legal action to protect their rights. Having a professionally drafted POA with clear terms helps prevent abuse and supports legal recourse.
