DIFC Courts Wills Service
The DIFC Courts Wills Service allows eligible non-Muslims to register a Will under the DIFC framework. Wills are typically prepared in English, and the service is popular with expatriates who want a familiar common-law style process.
Dubai Courts Wills
Non-Muslims may also register a Will through Dubai Courts. Requirements such as translation into Arabic and notarisation can apply. Recent UAE civil personal status laws for non-Muslims have broadened the options available.
How to choose
Factors that usually matter most:
- Where your assets are located (Dubai, other emirates, or abroad)
- Whether you need guardianship provisions for children
- Language preference and translation requirements
- Total registration costs and timelines
