I need some guidance regarding document translation. I have an important business contract drafted in English that needs to be translated into Arabic for use with partners and potentially official purposes within Dubai.

I'm seeing different services offered like "Certified Translation" and "Legal Translation," and I'm not sure which one is appropriate or required for a business contract here. Is a "Certified" translation enough, or does it absolutely need to be a "Legal" translation by a sworn translator?

I'm worried about choosing the wrong type and having issues with accuracy or legal recognition later on. What are the main differences, and what's generally recommended for formal business agreements in the UAE? Any insights would be very helpful!

Thanks!

I need to give someone Power of Attorney in Dubai to handle a few different tasks while I'm overseas – things like managing my apartment rental, maybe paying some bills from my local bank account, and potentially dealing with my car registration renewal.

A friend suggested getting a General Power of Attorney (GPOA) would be simpler to cover all bases. However, I'm feeling quite hesitant about granting such wide-ranging authority. Is using a GPOA common or even advisable in Dubai for these kinds of tasks?

What are the real risks associated with a General POA versus using a more specific or Limited/Special POA? Is it much safer to get a Special POA even if it only covers certain things? I want to ensure things are handled correctly but also want to protect myself. Any insights or experiences would be helpful!

Thanks!
