Wills Registration Services

A will is a legal document specifying who is entitled to receive a person’s assets upon death. It may also include an executor to carry out the deceased’s wishes during estate distribution. Making a Will to safeguard assets you own in Dubai or any other Emirate in the UAE is advisable. Our legal consultants provide you with the solution for this. We offer comprehensive services for will registration in Dubai that satisfy our clients through experience and years of work know-how related to will writing and registration. We minimize the possibility of legal disputes and ensure that the will is notarized to ensure that the testator’s will is preserved and passed on.

• DIFC Wills
• ADJD Wills
• Muslim Wills

In all cases, the testator needs proof of ownership of the assets they wish to pass on and ensure that all assets are accounted for and distributed fairly.

Will Drafting & Registration in Dubai

Each country formulates its inheritance rules and regulations based on customs, legal systems, religious beliefs, and other factors. The United Arab Emirates, which has Islam as its official religion, follows the principles of Sharia law concerning family and inheritance matters. However, given the large expatriate population and foreign investors, the UAE laws allow non-Muslim expatriates who have assets in the country to make a will according to the law of their home country. The person making the will can choose the law applicable to the will, and in the absence of a will, the courts can still apply the principles of Sharia law.

Why Will Registration is Important in UAE?

Writing and registering a Will in the UAE is very important. This country manages everything with order and discipline, ensuring no injustice or exploitation occurs when transferring properties and assets to legal heirs. However, due to this managed system, transfer of ownership becomes difficult if someone does not make their will before demise.

This legal step ensures the asset is distributed according to the deceased’s wishes and applicable laws after death. This process allows individuals to control the fate of their property and protect the rights of heirs. Besides, it avoids family disputes and ensures compliance with UAE laws.

General Advantages

• Legal Compliance: UAE laws, particularly for non-Muslims, allow individuals to distribute their assets as they wish through a registered will. For Muslims, Sharia law applies, but a will can still provide clarity and reduce disputes.
• Asset Protection: A will ensures that your assets (property, bank accounts, investments, etc.) are distributed according to your wishes.
• Guardianship of Children: For expatriates, a will can specify guardianship for minor children, ensuring their care and well-being.
• Avoiding Family Disputes: A clear and legally valid will minimize the risk of conflicts among family members.
• Efficient Asset Distribution: A registered will speed up the legal asset distribution, avoiding lengthy court procedures.
