Will Drafting & Registration Services in Dubai
Secure Your Assets, Family & Legacy Under UAE Law
Free Consultation | Confidential Estate Planning | 22+ Years of UAE Legal Experience
Planning for the future is essential to protect your assets, secure your family’s financial stability, and ensure your wishes are legally respected. In the UAE, dying without a registered will may result in the application of default inheritance rules, which may not reflect your personal or family intentions—particularly for expatriates.
At ISN Legal Consultancy, we provide professional will drafting and registration services in Dubai, assisting UAE residents and expatriates with legally sound, enforceable wills registered with the appropriate authorities to ensure clarity, protection, and peace of mind.
Understanding Will Drafting & Inheritance in Dubai
Inheritance matters in the UAE are governed by federal laws and specific regulations applicable to:
-
Muslim and non-Muslim individuals
-
UAE nationals and expatriates
-
Assets located inside and outside the UAE
For non-Muslims, registering a will through recognized authorities allows greater control over asset distribution, guardianship of children, and estate administration.
Proper legal drafting and registration are essential to avoid disputes, delays, and unintended outcomes.
