Wills And Guardianship Lawyers In Dubai – Succession Planning
Without a registered will, UAE assets and the guardianship of children are dealt with under the default rules. Registration is what changes that.
Wills, Guardianship And Estate Planning In The UAE
"Wills and guardianship for non-Muslim expatriates fall under family law in the UAE. The family lawyers team at HT Lawyers helps you with every family-related legal aspect including but not limited to inheritance, wills, guardianship and estate planning."
Registering a will and guardianship under jurisdiction is necessary for expatriates in the UAE. Only by doing so will your assets be distributed as per your choice on death. If your will is unregistered under any one of three jurisdictions, your assets will be divided and distributed to your family as per Sharia law.
Our experienced wills and guardianship lawyers first educate you on the laws that govern your assets post your death. Our wills and guardianship lawyers inform you of the various legalities surrounding your will's execution in the UAE. This includes your assets in any emirate of the UAE and worldwide. Our wills and guardianship lawyers are also well-experienced in preparing and registering wills as per the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Wills and Probate Registry.
When you approach us for this particular query, our wills and guardianship lawyers will expertly take you through the entire process of registering your will and guardianship particulars in the UAE legal system. Our lawyers will take the time to sit with you and collect all the relevant information needed to draft your will according to your wishes. After this, they will prepare your final will and make sure that it is up to date.
As for the guardianship particulars, you may state the details and our guardianship lawyers in Dubai will make the necessary legal documents expressing this wish. This guardianship applies only to kids under 21 years of age and who are residents of the UAE. Upon your demise, our wills and guardianship lawyers will execute your will and guardianship provisions to save your grieving family from the trouble of lengthy and complex legal matters.

FAQ's
General Guidance On This Area Of Law. Advice On Your Own File Requires The Documents And Any Case Reference.
Where Can A Non-Muslim Register A Will In Dubai?
Options include the DIFC Wills Service and the Dubai Courts wills register. Which is appropriate depends on the assets covered, whether guardianship is included and the residency position of the testator.
What Happens To UAE Assets Without A Will?
In the absence of a registered will the estate is dealt with under the applicable succession rules, which may not reflect what the deceased intended, and bank accounts and shares can be frozen while the position is resolved.
Can Guardianship Of Children Be Appointed In A Will?
Yes. A guardianship provision can appoint interim and permanent guardians, which is what prevents an emergency arising in the period immediately after a death while the courts consider the position.
Does A Will Made Abroad Cover Property In Dubai?
A foreign will may be recognised, but reliance on it usually means a delay for legalisation, translation and court process. A locally registered will covering UAE assets avoids that.
