By creating a will, you can secure the future of your loved one in terms of planning your legacy and nominating the persons who can benefit from your property and money. In Dubai—where the legal framework is unique, and the society is multicultural including Muslims and Non-Muslims—writing a will is important for all members of the society. In case of expats who are not governed by local Sharia-based inheritance laws, their will is important in favour of successors. After your passing, a well-drafted will is the instrument which will decide who will succeed your business, property, or profession.

Why Drafting a Will in Dubai Is Crucial

Just having verbal instructions or informal documents are not enough to declare the legal successors in Dubai as many residents think considering past practices. In reality, this approach has led to many legal disputes which cause unnecessary delay in distribution of assets between the legal heirs and successors.

Our Professional will writing services in Dubai has some of the following benefits:

• Legal Recognition – The UAE law has the provision to entertain the wills which are officially drafted and registered.
•  
• Protecting Your Heirs – In this way, heirs are legally protected as the names of the beneficiaries are clearly mentioned. It closes the passage for unintended parties to get illegal benefits in future.
• Guardianship of Children – A guardian can be nominated for the guardianship of minor children in case of death of both the parents.   
• Avoiding Sharia Law for Non-Muslims – Registering a will is important for those expats who do not want a distribution of their property or any asset according to Islamic inheritance rules that are applied in the UAE and Dubai by default.
• Efficient Estate Distribution – This can minimize legal hurdles in distribution of entitlements to the desired persons and help in avoiding the unnecessary delays.

What Happens If You Don’t Have a Will in Dubai?

If you want to control the distribution of your property and asset according to your choice, it is always recommended to register a will. In the absence of a valid will, it is possible that after your passing, your business, property, and other assets may be distributed under UAE Sharia inheritance laws, especially if you are a Muslim and haven’t registered a will as a non-Muslim. In such a situation following issues can arise:

• Your male and female heirs can be allocated with fixed shares differently contrary to your wishes.
• It’s a chance that there will be no provision for unmarried partners or friends.
• Minor children being placed under court guardianship.
• A court ruling will be required to unfreeze the business assets after one’s death.
• Another issue is the inaccessibility of the Properties and bank accounts for long periods.
