ConceptUAEReviewed October 2026
The UAE court process that takes over when a person loses capacity: the family applies for an interdiction order and the court, on medical evidence, appoints a guardian to manage the person’s affairs. While it runs, bank accounts and assets can be frozen and significant transactions need the court’s approval.
Because the UAE recognises no lasting power of attorney and an ordinary power lapses on incapacity, guardianship is the default outcome for UAE assets, reached in a second language under a different legal system and often at the same time as an English deputyship.
