Wills & Testament
A will is how you decide who receives what — and how you decide who acts for your children. In the UAE, non-Muslim residents can register a will under DIFC or Dubai Courts, and it will be enforced on UAE soil without going through the local Sharia default. We help you draft it and register it.

How it works
Step by step.
Interview
A 45-minute structured session, in person or by video, records your wishes, your assets, and your family situation.
Draft
A qualified lawyer drafts the will in plain language, translated to Arabic where the registry requires it.
Review
You read the draft and mark anything to change. We reissue until you approve the final wording.
Register
You attend one appointment at the DIFC or Dubai Courts registry. The will is signed, witnessed, and entered on the register.
Good to know
Before you start.
Family protection
Ensures your spouse and children inherit exactly as you intend, not under the default rules that apply without a will.
Guardianship for minors
Names who will look after your children if neither parent can, and how their schooling and property are managed.
Business interests
Sets out who takes your shares or partnership stake, and on what terms, so the business is not frozen.
Property and real estate
Says who receives UAE property, and how a mortgaged or jointly-held asset is handled.
Avoiding disputes
A registered will removes the arguments that otherwise fall to the courts to settle.
Estate planning
For international families with assets in more than one country, we plan the UAE portion to work alongside the will you hold elsewhere.
