POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR PROPERTY

  1. Various nomenclatures are used worldwide for Power of Attorney, which may differ from one country or jurisdiction to another.

  2. Power of Attorney for Property is also called Power of Attorney for Financial.

  3. Power of Attorney for Property is a legal document to appoint an Attorney to look after your financial and other affairs locally or overseas. A power of attorney for Property is useful for managing affairs remotely in case your asset is located outside the jurisdiction or overseas. A power of attorney for Property may expire in 2, 5, or 10 years depending upon your country. Consult the Consulate general or registrar for more information. Also, Power of Attorney is a strong estate plan that speaks when you cannot make the decision yourself due to inability or mental incapacity. It's your time to put control over your properties and personal care preferences through Power of Attorney. The choice is yours before it is too late (i.e., accidents, pandemics, disasters, or illness).

It's your time to put control over your medical care preferences through Power of Attorney. The choice is yours before it is too late (i.e., accidents, pandemics, disasters, or illness).

  4. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Power of Attorney for Healthcare is different than Living Will as it covers personal preferences but does not cover end-of-life medical treatment preferences.

  5. A power of attorney created on Wassiyyah is country-specific to meet legal and Islamic compliance.

POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR INHERITANCE

  1. Various nomenclatures are used worldwide for Power of Attorney, which may differ from one country or jurisdiction to another.

  2. Power of Attorney for Inheritance is a legal document to appoint an Attorney to look after your personal or other affairs after death. Power of Attorney for Inheritance differs from the Power of Attorney for Property and Healthcare as those are invalid after death. However, only a few countries (such as UAE) have adequate laws to support the Power of Attorney for Inheritance, so we suggest consulting the local jurisdictional office or consulate general before signing off.

  3. The only alternative that can be helpful is appointing the same person as an Executor (or Trustee) for Islamic Will (or Trust), and an Attorney for Power of Attorney Property. Also, you must need Islamic Will (or Trust) so that when Attorney becomes Executor (or Trustee), they continue carrying out affairs under Islamic Will (or Trust). It will also ease some of the issues for crossing over required between the Power of Attorney and Islamic Will (or Trust) when the same person is acting for both. Also, If you have assets that exist across the country or worldwide, we suggest appointing more than one Attorney to prolong the life of your estate plan.
