In the UAE, a registered Will is not just a recommendation but an absolute necessity. It's a pivotal step towards preserving your assets and securing the well-being of your loved ones. Utilizing will writing services in Dubai ensures that your assets will be distributed exactly as you intend. This consideration is particularly significant for expats, as a UAE will for expats requires careful attention to local laws. Making a will in Dubai allows you to appoint guardians for your minor children, ensuring that your wishes are faithfully executed. It helps prevent potential conflicts and disputes, safeguarding the harmony and unity of your family.

“If I have not registered a Will, what happens to my assets in the UAE if something unexpected happens to me? Who gets the custody of my children?”

In such cases, your movable and immovable assets, including bank accounts, salary, and employee benefits, will be subject to distribution under Sharia law, which is a common scenario when individuals haven’t opted for will writing services in Dubai. Funds in bank accounts will be frozen until legal proceedings are completed. Similarly, the custody of your children will be determined according to Sharia law, highlighting the importance of making a will in Dubai.

“Can’t the embassy of my country help in this?”

While the consulate or embassy of your home country can offer guidance and support with legal issues, the local UAE law takes precedence. This underscores the necessity of a UAE will for expats, to ensure your wishes are honored in the UAE.

“If I register a will, can I change it later?”

Absolutely, you can. It’s advisable to update your Will, especially after significant life events, which is a flexible aspect of the process of making a will in Dubai.

“I do not want to disclose my assets to the lawyers or the registry; can I still register my Will?”

Yes, you can. If your Will doesn’t require specific bequeathing of assets, there’s no need to list them, thus maintaining privacy. The process in ADJD, Dubai Courts, and DIFC involves specifying beneficiaries and asset allocation without necessarily disclosing the assets themselves.

“How much time and cost are involved in registering a Will?”

The costs and time vary. Court fees are approximately:

AED 950 for ADJD

AED 5000 for Dubai Courts

Between AED 5,000 to AED 10,000 for DIFC

Drafting charges start from AED 1,000 and can increase based on your Will’s complexity. Registration time depends on the registry queue and can range from a few days to a couple of weeks.
