Legal Services That Product Your Business & and Your Family

From contract drafting to dispute resolution, our team of lawyers in Dubai helps you operate with confidence under UAE law. And because inheritance in the UAE defaults to local succession law without a registered will, we also help expats and residents register a will through the DIFC Wills & Probate Registry or the Abu Dhabi civil route that reflects their actual wishes.

100% Foreign Ownership

Government Eligibility

Fast Formation

Will Preparation Why It Matters

The UAE Sharia-based inheritance laws apply to all residents by default. Without a DIFC or ADJD registered will, your legacy is at the mercy of default statutory distribution.

Frozen Bank Accounts

Joint and personal accounts are typically frozen immediately, cutting off access to vital family funds.

Delayed Family Access

Legal processing for non-will cases can take months, leaving beneficiaries in financial and legal limbo.

Court-Decided Guardianship

In the absence of a legal declaration, local courts will determine the guardianship of minor children.

Everything You Need to Know
About Legal Services

What happens to my UAE assets if I don't have a will?

Your estate is distributed according to UAE succession law rather than your personal wishes, and accounts including joint accounts can be frozen until the process concludes.

✓ TAILORED BUSINESS ADVICE

Which will is right for me DIFC or Abu Dhabi?

The DIFC Wills & Probate Registry suits non-Muslim expats who prefer English-only, common-law proceedings and may want to include some foreign assets. The Abu Dhabi route covers all UAE assets across every Emirate and is open to both Muslim and non-Muslim residents.

Both routes typically take around 34 weeks from consultation to registration, assuming documents are provided promptly.
