The year 2020 forced many businesses to develop and rebuild concepts to accommodate the rising demand for online solutions.

A will is an imperative document that ensures your assets are distributed amongst your chosen beneficiaries in the manner you desire after your demise. Non-Muslim expatriates with assets in the UAE now have legal certainty for the inheritance of their assets and the appointment of guardians for their children. If an individual passes away without a will, the distribution of their assets would be dependent on the inheritance rules of the domicile law, which may not reflect the wishes of the individual.
Shariah based inheritance law applies to the estate of everyone either residing in or having assets in the UAE. The law, however, respects the religious faith of everyone and provides an option to the non-Muslims to opt out from the application of the Shariah Law through a duly registered will. It is thus critical that non-Muslim expatriates understand the importance of a will in the UAE.
Here are the options for non-Muslims to register their Wills in the UAE:
Abu Dhabi Wills – These Wills are registered with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department in Abu Dhabi.
DIFC Wills – These Wills are registered with the DIFC Wills Service Centre in Dubai.
The above options cover assets across all Emirates in the UAE. DIFC Wills, however, provide an option to non-Muslims to include their assets outside the UAE depending upon the enforceability of the DIFC Wills in the relevant jurisdiction.
