A Safe Future with a Will in the United Arab Emirate

 

Why Is It Important to Register a Will?

Without a registered will, UAE courts distribute assets according to Sharia law. This could result in outcomes that do not reflect your personal wishes—for instance, company assets or bank savings may pass to male heirs.

Registering a will allows you to safeguard your assets, protect your family’s financial future, and avoid lengthy and complex legal procedures in the event of an unexpected situation.

 

Will Registration for Muslims

Muslims living in Dubai can register their wills through the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) Family Court. Wills are prepared in Arabic and can cover assets such as real estate, bank accounts, and investments in Dubai. They can also be updated as needed, ensuring your assets are managed legally and in accordance with your wishes.

Will Registration for Non-Muslims

Non-Muslims can register their wills via the DIFC Wills Service Centre or the ADJD. Wills may be prepared in English and governed by the laws of your home country. They can cover assets including real estate, company shares, bank accounts, vehicles, and custody of minor children. Applicants must be at least 21 years old.
