Will Drafting & Registration in Dubai

Estate planning is essential for individuals living or owning assets in the UAE. Without a registered will, inheritance may be governed by default UAE inheritance rules, which may not reflect personal intentions—particularly for expatriates and non-Muslims.

ISN Legal Consultancy provides professional will drafting and registration services in Dubai, helping clients protect assets, appoint guardians, and ensure their estate is distributed according to their wishes under UAE law.

Understanding Will Drafting & Inheritance in Dubai

Inheritance matters in the UAE are governed by federal laws and specific regulations applicable to:

  • UAE nationals and expatriates

  • Muslim and non-Muslim individuals

  • 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 drafting and registration are critical to avoid disputes, delays, and unintended outcomes.
