Wills & Trusts

When a family member passes away in the UAE, bank accounts freeze, property transfers halt, and business operations stall until succession is legally established. The window between loss and legal resolution is where estates are diminished. We act immediately to restore access to frozen assets, navigate Personal Status Law proceedings to obtain Succession Certificates, and manage the probate process across Sharia and civil jurisdictions. For forward planning, we draft and register wills through the DIFC Wills Service Centre and the Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court for non-Muslims, and prepare Sharia-compliant succession instruments for Muslim clients. Our practice ensures that wealth transfers according to your intentions, not by default of law.
