What Is a Power of Attorney in Saudi Arabia?
A Power of Attorney is a formal authorization through which one person (the principal) grants another person (the agent) permission to perform specific legal, administrative, financial, or other actions on their behalf.
In Saudi Arabia, a Power of Attorney must clearly identify the parties and specify the authority being granted. The wording and scope of the document are important because the appointed representative should only exercise the powers expressly authorized in the POA.
A properly notarized Power of Attorney can help individuals and businesses manage matters when they cannot personally attend or complete a particular transaction.
