Preparation and attestation of a will in the UAE
— The process of inheritance of property in the UAE is governed by a complex combination of Sharia law, local civil law and international agreements. The inheritance procedure may vary depending on the nationality, religion, and marital status of the testator.
The absence of a will may lead to the application of Sharia law by the court, complication of the inheritance procedure for heirs, as well as the distribution of shares not in the way the testator would like.
Therefore, we recommend making a will if you have property in the UAE.

Half of the property will go to the surviving spouse, and half will be divided equally among the children, regardless of gender. When there are no children, the property that could be owed to them will pass to the testator's parents, if they are alive, in equal shares. If one of the parents has passed away, then the half due to him will go to the brothers of the deceased.
The testator independently establishes the desired order of property distribution.
Legalization of documents confirming kinship. Hire a local lawyer and submit an application to the local court for the division of the estate. The final decision will be made by the judge, and the trial will take place in Arabic.
