Making a will in Dubai
Do you own property in the UAE? Without a will registered in the UAE, your family will inherit problems instead of capital and property after your death.
If you are a foreigner, not a Muslim, and you own property or funds in the United Arab Emirates, Sharia law applies to you without a will. Not your will. Not your decisions. Not your rules.
Drawing up a will in the UAE solves inheritance issues
Without a will, your property will be divided among your entire family according to the age, gender, and kinship of the surviving heirs. Sharia law gives inheritance rights to your siblings, parents, wife, and children. If you want your wife to inherit your estate, she will need a notarized waiver of inheritance from all family members.
What does the lack of a will mean in practice?
- frozen bank accounts,
- costly court proceedings in the Emirates,
- the need for family members to arrive to formally renounce their share of the inheritance,
- years of stress, paperwork, and costs.
This is exactly the moment when your loved ones should not have to learn the system, and a properly drafted will solves the above problems.
A will in Dubai ensures that:
- Your property goes to the people you designate,
- Funds from bank accounts can be recovered,
- Sharia law does not apply to inheritance,
- Everything is done according to a clear procedure.
