Why Making a Will Matters

If you pass away in the UAE without a valid Will, your assets and guardianship decisions default to local UAE law.

That means:

  • Your assets (not limited to properties) will be distributed in an unfavourable manner.

  • Local authorities may decide the guardianship of your children

  • Bank accounts will remain blocked indefinitely

  • Assets in your home country will be distributed according to local laws

By drafting and registering a Will in the UAE, you’ll stay in control of your assets and protect your children’s future. Providing your family with complete peace of mind.

We handle Will drafting and registration through all three legally recognized UAE routes.

I was referred to Just Wills (UAE) by the biggest personal financial advisory firm in the UAE and one of the most prominent regional banks in the UAE. I can now see why! Mohammed Marria is extremely conversant with Shariah law and the formalities involved in expediting a Will in the UAE. Just Wills’ service is second to none. As an expat, I now have peace of mind knowing my family’s future is safeguarded.

I would highly recommend Mohammad’s expert advice on Estate planning. All to often we over look this vital area especially those persons living in the U.A.E. It’s very important to have all these documents in place and up to date at all times and I can personally recommend Mohammad and his company for a complete professional package.
