Why Making a Will in Dubai is Important?
Making a will is important and necessary in Islamic countries, especially a country like the UAE, which includes many nationalities. This is because if a person dies without leaving a will, his money and assets are subject to the law in force in the UAE and are divided as an endowment according to Islamic Sharia, and this result may not satisfy some people.
Therefore, having a written will that reflects your wishes ensures the distribution of your money and property, including child custody, as you want. However, it is important to consult with will experts in the UAE, as they are familiar with all the laws related to drafting and registering wills, which facilitates the process and prevents any errors that might hinder its acceptance and execution later.
Types of Wills in the UAE
The type of will is determined by the official entity that registers and authenticates it. UAE will for expats are subject to three official bodies, which differ in their procedures and fees.

Who Needs a Will in the UAE?
Those who need wills in Dubai are non-Muslim expatriates and residents living in the UAE who do not want their properties to be subject to inheritance rules under Sharia. Therefore, the relevant Emirati authorities have issued laws and regulations to assist them in writing wills within the Emirati legal framework so that the inheritance of properties and assets can be divided as they wish, including child custody conditions—if applicable.
The matter of preparing wills is not limited to non-Muslims in the UAE; Muslims, both citizens and residents, can also write a will for one-third of the estate only for those who are not heirs according to Sharia. As for child custody, it is the father or male relatives who take custody, but if there is a will specifying the custodian, the court will take it into consideration.
The preparation of a will is important and necessary for business owners and investors who have shares in Emirati companies, as having a will determines who will take over their responsibilities after death, avoiding the freezing of their bank accounts and thus facilitating their business transactions.
