WILL PREPARATION SERVICE

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.
