Providing trusted legal advice and peace of mind.
Wills are not legally mandatory, but they are highly recommended. Wills are essential to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
Failing to prepare a Will in Dubai can lead to complications for your family, as local laws may apply by default. For non-Muslim residents, having a legally registered Will is essential to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Without one, your assets may be subject to Sharia law, which follows fixed inheritance rules and typically does not account for individual preferences.
Assets can include money and property. Some individuals may have children, so they will need to assign guardianship to relatives or other people. Having these plans in place can reduce the risks of issues and means that your family can benefit from a quicker settlement. Our team can provide a wide range of support, including will drafting services in the UAE.
