Tailored for expats under UAE law
As an expat, your assets will be distributed under Sharia law by default — regardless of your nationality, religion, or wishes.
Without a registered Will, Sharia-based succession rules apply by default — your spouse and children may not receive what you intended.
Joint and personal accounts are often frozen until succession is resolved, leaving your family without access to funds for months.
Courts decide who cares for your children if no Will names a guardian — even if family lives abroad.
Simple Process
Four simple steps from start to full legal protection.
Fill out a questionnaire for us to better understand your estate planning needs.
Our qualified team prepares your Will aligned with ADJD requirements, and sends it to you to revise before submission.
Your Will is translated and registered with the relevant UAE court — ADJD, Dubai, or DIFC.
Once submitted, your Will is valid and your wishes are protected, only pending a quick online call with the courts to approve it.
