• WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRINCIPAL AND JOINT OWNERS TO THE SALE AGREEMENT?

In the realm of property ownership, the distinction between the principal and joint owners is rather negligible, as both parties stand as coequal stakeholders in the property, unless explicitly conveyed otherwise to the Dubai Land Department (DLD). Consider, for example, a scenario where two acquaintances co-invest in a property; the distribution of ownership percentages hinges upon their respective financial contributions to the venture. In the absence of a specified arrangement, equity prevails, rendering both parties with an even-handed share. It’s imperative to note that any official notifications or correspondences addressed to the Principal Owner are legally recognized as having been duly delivered to all participating property owners under the laws of the United Arab Emirates.
