Legal Representation for Foreign Property Owners in Egypt


Foreign nationals who own property in Egypt frequently encounter legal complications that can be difficult to address from abroad. These include disputes over legal title, boundary lines, unauthorized occupancy, or sudden municipal actions affecting the property. The risks increase significantly when no local supervision exists or when agreements have not been formally documented. Without appropriate legal representation, foreign owners may find themselves vulnerable to delays, miscommunication, or even losing certain rights.

At Anglo–Nile Legal Services, a UK-registered company, we serve as your legal voice on the ground in Egypt. We contract directly with clients and work exclusively through the independent licensed lawyers who cooperate and work with the company in Egypt under our direct oversight. We handle litigation, administrative claims, and enforcement procedures—ensuring your rights are protected and your interests fully represented. All services are delivered with professionalism, transparency, and comprehensive bilingual reporting tailored to your needs abroad.

Legal Requirements for Foreign Representation in Egypt


  • Power of Attorney (PoA): A notarized and legalized Power of Attorney is required from the foreign owner—either via the Egyptian consulate or apostille—to legally authorize a local lawyer to act on their behalf in Egypt. This Power of Attorney must be coordinated with the company, which assumes legal responsibility for implementing the agreed services.
  • Certified Ownership Documents: The original title deed or valid proof of ownership must be presented to initiate or respond to any legal proceedings involving the property. This document forms the legal foundation of representation.
  • Translation and Certification: Any supporting documents issued in foreign languages must be accurately translated into Arabic by a certified translator and then officially stamped for use in Egyptian courts or government offices.
  • Court Representation Registration: Before taking any legal step, the appointed legal representative must be formally registered through court procedures, confirming their authority to represent the property owner in litigation or administrative matters. This will be handled by the lawyers who cooperate and work with the company in Egypt.
  • Official Notification Address in Egypt: A registered legal address within Egypt is required for receiving official court summons, governmental notifications, and legal correspondence related to the case.

Your Power of Attorney Questions Answered

No. You can issue the POA from abroad through the Egyptian consulate or via apostille, without needing to travel.

What documents do I need to authorize a lawyer in Egypt?

You will typically need your passport, proof of ownership, a POA draft, and possibly proof of address.

Can a lawyer manage property matters, including disputes?

Yes. A lawyer can handle tenant issues, rent collection, evictions, and property-related disputes on your behalf.

Can I sell or buy property in Egypt through my lawyer?

How can I monitor my lawyer’s actions?

Professional lawyers provide clear communication, written updates, and official documents for every action taken.

What if my lawyer becomes unavailable or I change my mind?

You can revoke the POA at any time and assign a new lawyer. You may also appoint multiple lawyers if needed.

Is court representation valid with just a POA?

Yes. The POA must be filed with the court, granting your lawyer the authority to represent you during proceedings.

Will Egyptian authorities accept foreign-issued POAs?

Yes, as long as the POA is legalized properly (via consulate or apostille) and translated by a certified translator into Arabic.
