Wills · Inheritance · Family Law — for Muslims and Non-Muslims
"A will is not only a document — it is protection for your family when they need it most."
The UAE applies different inheritance frameworks depending on religion and asset type. Without a will, the law decides on your behalf — and the result may not reflect your family's wishes.
Accounts may be temporarily frozen after death pending legal estate procedures, depending on the bank and relevant authorities.
Without prior legal arrangements, courts determine guardianship based on applicable laws — which may not reflect your wishes.
Properties are subject to UAE laws and procedures. Clear documentation helps facilitate transfer and reduce complications.
Partnership shares may require additional legal procedures after an owner's death. Prior planning helps maintain continuity.
Without a will, estate proceedings may take significantly longer and involve additional costs and complexity for your family.
Assets across multiple countries require coordinated legal planning. A single estate may need separate wills in multiple jurisdictions.
