Wills & Estate Planning in Dubai

Why a will is essential in Dubai

Buying real estate in Dubai is an investment in the future, but securing these assets is just as important. Without a will, the local Sharia estate regulations apply, which do not always reflect personal wishes. With a legally valid will, you ensure that your property and assets are transferred according to your intentions, clearly regulated, without disputes, and with international recognition.

You ask — we answer

Is my will valid internationally in Dubai?

A will registered in Dubai applies primarily to your assets in the UAE. A separate regulation may be necessary for other countries. We coordinate the design with international partners so that your will is globally consistent.

Can I change my will later?

Yes, anytime. Changes or additions are possible by registering again.

How much does it cost to prepare a will?

Costs vary depending on complexity. We provide you with transparent advice and refer you to experienced partner lawyers with a clear cost structure.

Can I make a will just for Dubai?

Yes A DIFC will only apply to your assets in Dubai and the UAE. For other countries, you may need separate wills.

Where is my will registered?

Usually at the DIFC Wills Service Centre or, alternatively, at the Dubai Courts. Both offer international legal certainty.

Do I absolutely need a will in Dubai?

If you own real estate or assets in Dubai, it is highly recommended to avoid the automatic application of Sharia probate rules.
