Why a DIFC Will is Important in Dubai


A DIFC Will allows you to have greater control over your estate, ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, as opposed to being subjected to the UAE’s Shariah-based inheritance laws. As an expatriate or resident in Dubai, a DIFC Will provides clear legal guidelines and simplifies the process for your loved ones in the event of your passing.

Creating a DIFC Will ensures:

  • Asset distribution according to your wishes, bypassing Shariah law inheritance rules
  • Provides peace of mind knowing your assets will be dealt with by your nominated executors
  • You can appoint guardians for your children
  • It simplifies the estate administration process
  • Reduces the chance of family disputes over inheritance

How We Help You Create Your DIFC Will in Dubai

3

Review and Finalisation

Once we have drafted the Will, we review it together to ensure it meets your expectations. We will incorporate any necessary revisions before the final version is ready for signing.

Signing and Witnessing

We ensure that your DIFC Will is signed in compliance with the DIFC’s legal requirements, with independent witnesses present to validate the document.

Why Having a DIFC Will is Essential in Dubai

For expatriates, residents, and business owners in Dubai, a DIFC Will is crucial for ensuring that your estate is managed and distributed according to your wishes. The UAE’s default inheritance laws are based on Shariah law, which may not align with your personal preferences. A DIFC Will bypasses these laws and allows you to appoint executors, distribute assets as per your wishes, and protect your loved ones from unnecessary legal complications.

A DIFC Will provides:

  • Clarity over the distribution of your estate
  • Protection against the UAE’s default inheritance laws
  • The ability to nominate guardians for children
  • Clear appointment of executors to carry out your wishes
  • Peace of mind knowing your assets will be safeguarded

FAQs About UK Wills

A DIFC Will is a legally recognised document that allows expatriates and residents in Dubai to ensure their estate is distributed according to their wishes. It is governed by the DIFC Wills and Probate Registry, which bypasses the UAE’s Shariah law inheritance system.

If you live in Dubai or have assets in the UAE, a DIFC Will provides you with the legal framework to control how your estate is distributed. Without it, your assets may be subject to the default inheritance laws, which may not align with your preferences.

While it is possible to write your own DIFC Will, it is highly advisable to seek legal assistance. A solicitor ensures your Will is legally sound, reduces the chances of disputes, and ensures all formalities are correctly followed.

The process can typically be completed within a few weeks. After an initial consultation, we will draft your Will, review it with you, and arrange for signing and witnessing.

The cost depends on the complexity of your Will. We offer transparent pricing based on your individual needs, ensuring you receive high-quality legal services at competitive rates.

If you need to make changes to your DIFC Will, we can help you update it through a Codicil (an amendment to the Will) or by drafting a new Will if necessary.
