WILLS · ADVISORY & COORDINATION

Wills and Estate Planning
in the UAE

With a Will, plan today for your assets to pass according to your wishes rather than Sharia distribution rules. We coordinate preparation and official registration of your Will with authorised local lawyers.

Important questions to consider today.

YOUR ASSETS

How would my assets be distributed?

Set out who should receive your property, bank accounts and other assets, and in what shares. The scope is prepared under the law applicable to your circumstances.

YOUR BUSINESS

What happens to my business?

Include company interests and succession arrangements in your planning, taking account of the company structure and existing shareholder documents.

ESTATE ADMINISTRATION

How will my Will be carried out?

Your Will is officially registered. After death, the required court and estate administration procedures still take place to identify and transfer the assets.

RECORD YOUR WISHES TODAY

Why consider a Will?

A valid Will lets you direct how your assets should be distributed. Without one, the applicable rules depend on your circumstances, assets and the competent court, and Sharia-based distribution may apply. We coordinate registration of your Will to record your wishes in advance.

OFFICIAL WILL REGISTRATION

Your wishes on the court record.

We coordinate registration of your Will through Abu Dhabi Courts, from document preparation to your registration appointment.

OFFICIAL REGISTRATION

Kept in the court register

Once registered, the Will is retained in the court’s official Wills register. We coordinate the documents, translation and registration appointment.

YOUR UAE ESTATE

Assets across the Emirates

Your Will can cover property, bank accounts and company interests across the UAE. An authorised local lawyer assesses the scope and implementation steps.

Registering a Will does not remove the need for court proceedings after death. The relevant estate identification and asset-transfer procedures must still be completed.

CARE AND GUARDIAN PLANNING FOR CHILDREN

Who would care for my children?

Consider interim and longer-term care and guardian preferences, particularly if both parents pass away. Appointments are subject to eligibility rules and the competent court’s decision.
