Will Drafting In UAE

 We assist clients in drafting legally sound wills that reflect their wishes to transfer ownership of their properties to their chosen beneficiaries.

These wills are considered conditional acts that only come into effect after the testator’s death. Wills can be crafted for both Muslims and non-Muslims.

For Muslims, the will must be submitted to a Sharia judge in Dubai courts and must adhere to Islamic Sharia conditions, while non-Muslims can have their wills authenticated by a notary public.

In all cases, it is essential for the testator to have proof of ownership of the assets they wish to bequeath, along with ensuring that all assets are accounted for and distributed fairly.

What Is Wills Registration?

Wills registration is the legal process of drafting and registering a will, ensuring that an individual’s assets are distributed according to their wishes upon their death.

At AWS Legal Group, we provide comprehensive services in drafting, registering, and executing wills, ensuring compliance with UAE laws and protecting the interests of your heirs and beneficiaries.

Why is Wills Registration Important?

Registering a will provides legal certainty, ensuring that your estate is managed and distributed as you intended.

In the absence of a registered will, your estate may be subject to local inheritance laws, which may not align with your wishes.

A registered will also minimizes the risk of disputes among heirs and ensures that your beneficiaries are legally protected.
