Wills registaration Dubai & the UAE
## Wills in Dubai In Dubai, expatriates can register wills through the DIFC Wills Service Centre, ensuring their assets are distributed according to their wishes rather than UAE inheritance law. Non-Muslims are strongly advised to register a will, as without one, Sharia law may govern asset distribution. A DIFC-registered will covers assets such as bank accounts, property, and guardianship of children. The process is straightforward, requiring identity documents and a registration fee. Dubai also recognizes wills registered in other jurisdictions under certain conditions. Regularly updating your will is essential, especially after major life events like marriage, divorce, or property acquisition.
