Usufruct Amendment in Dubai – Legally Modify Long-Term Property Rights

Any individual or legal entity that holds a registered usufruct right in Dubai may apply for an amendment. Non-resident foreigners can apply through an authorised representative with a valid power of attorney. EGSH confirms applicant eligibility and verifies all documents before submission to the DLD.

You may amend the registered usufruct contract to update the term (duration) or the financial value of the right. Other contractual changes are not covered under this procedure and may require a separate application. EGSH ensures the amendment request aligns with DLD regulations before submission.

The usufruct update at the Dubai Land Department typically takes 10–15 minutes once all documents are verified and fees are paid. EGSH submits the amendment through official channels, ensuring fast processing and compliance with DLD requirements.

If the amendment involves a change in financial value, the Dubai Land Department charges 2% of the new amount from both the owner and the lessee. For amendments related only to the contract term, fixed service fees apply instead. Additional DLD fees include AED 1,000 for the usufruct amendment, AED 250 for the Title Deed, and AED 100–250 for the updated property map, depending on the type and location. EGSH provides a full fee breakdown before submission.

A new Certificate of Title reflecting the updated usufruct terms is issued by the Dubai Land Department. EGSH ensures the updated Title Deed and Property Map are delivered electronically after registration.

A non-resident can amend a usufruct agreement through an authorised representative. A valid notarised power of attorney is required. EGSH verifies the documentation and completes the process on your behalf through authorised DLD systems.

The amendment process allows you to update the value of usufruct as recorded with the Dubai Land Department. EGSH ensures the revised amount is correctly reflected in the Title Deed after registration.

Unregistered changes to a usufruct agreement have no legal effect. The Dubai Land Department recognises only amendments officially submitted and approved through authorised channels.
