Will Registration & Trustee Services

What is a Will?

A will is a legal document that specifies how your assets and affairs should be managed after your death. It guarantees that your assets are distributed as you intend and provides clear instructions for the care of minor children, among other important provisions.

Overview of Will Registration Services

Nearly 90% of the UAE's population consists of expatriates, many of whom face significant legal challenges in securing their estates for future generations. Our services provide peace of mind by ensuring that your heirs can rightfully claim their inheritance without legal hurdles.

Importance of Will Registration in the UAE

• Legal Clarity: Registering your will provides explicit directives for asset distribution, helping to prevent potential disputes among heirs.
• Protection under UAE Law: Without a registered will, your estate is distributed according to UAE's Sharia law, which might not reflect your personal wishes.
• Ease for Heirs: A registered will greatly simplifies the legal process for your heirs when claiming their inheritance.

Challenges for Heirs without a Will

Heirs without a will must establish their relationship to the deceased and demonstrate to UAE courts that no other legitimate heirs exist, often involving a prolonged and complex legal process.
