Family Protection
Critical for Every Expat

Don't Let Your Family
Lose Everything.

Dying without a Will in the UAE is a financial catastrophe. Accounts frozen. Assets seized. Sharia Law distribution.
Don't take the risk.

Secure Your Assets See The Reality

The Nightmare of
"No Other Legal Heirs"

Imagine your family grieving your loss, only to find they cannot touch a single dirham in your bank account. Why? Because proving who they are is easy. Proving who isn't there is nearly impossible without a Will.

The "Impossible" Proof:

The UAE Courts will demand absolute proof that no other heirs exist (e.g., a long-lost brother, a child from a previous marriage, or a distant uncle) who might have a claim under Sharia Law.

The Bureaucratic Hell They Face:

  • 1
    Foreign Court Battles: Your family must sue in your home country to get a "Decree of Distribution" listing every single heir. This can take 6-12 months.
  • 2
    The Witness Trap: They must fly two male witnesses from your home country to Dubai to testify under oath in front of a judge about your family tree.
  • 3
    Attestation Nightmare: Every single document must be translated into Arabic and attested by the UAE Embassy in your home country AND MOFA in Dubai.

The 1-Day Solution: A Registered Will

With a Will registered at DIFC, Dubai Courts, or ADJC, this entire nightmare disappears. The court simply executes your written wish. No foreign decrees. No witnesses. No frozen assets.

The Reality of Sharia Default

What happens if you do nothing?

Default Scenario

Without a Will

  • INSTANT FREEZE: All bank accounts (personal & joint) are frozen. Your spouse cannot access money for rent, school fees, or food.
  • FORCED SHARIA: Your wife gets only 1/8th of your assets. The rest goes to children, parents, and sometimes even your siblings.
  • CHILD CUSTODY RISK: The mother is NOT the automatic guardian. Custody may be awarded to a male relative on the father's side.
Protected

With a Registered Will

  • INSTANT ACCESS: Probate is fast-tracked. Your family gets access to funds immediately to maintain their lifestyle.
  • YOUR WISHES: You decide. Want to give 100% to your spouse? Done. Sharia law is legally bypassed.
  • GUARDIANSHIP SECURED: You appoint temporary and permanent guardians. Your children stay with who YOU choose.

Do you have children under 21?

If you pass away, the mother DOES NOT automatically get custody. The court may appoint a distant male relative as the financial guardian of your children's inheritance.

Don't let a stranger control your children's future.

Questions We Get Daily

Does a Will cover my gratuity?

Yes. Without a Will, your End of Service Gratuity is considered part of your estate and frozen. With a Will, you can specify exactly who receives it immediately.

Do I need to visit the court?

No. Dubai Courts, DIFC, and ADJC all offer fully digital registration via video call. You can register your Will from the comfort of your home or office.

Can I just use a template from Google?

Absolutely not. UAE Wills require specific legal terminology to be valid in Sharia courts. Online templates are often rejected, leaving your family with an invalid document when they need it most.
