Preparing for the unexpected can be daunting. Our will preparation service makes it quick and simple to get your will drawn up under common law from DIFC. All seven Emirates are covered.
Our experts will help you understand the type of will options available and which one is right for you. DIFC provides a common law environment for non-Muslims to draw up a will in English to determine how their assets should be distributed if they pass away. All seven emirates in the UAE are covered by DIFC Wills, which ensure non-Muslims’ estates are not subject to the UAE Shariah law. The assets can include real estate, cash, possessions, company shares, bank and brokerage accounts and more.
