Don’t Leave Your Family in Distress
As a non-Muslim in the UAE, passing away without a Will can create legal complexities and uncertainty for your family. While Federal Law governs inheritance matters, Sharia Law may be applied in cases of ambiguity, including guardianship decisions for minor children.
At Expat Legacy, we guide you through the process of creating a legally binding Will that protects your family and respects your wishes.

FAQS
Why do I need a Will in the UAE as an expat?
Without a legally binding Will, UAE laws (including Sharia Law) determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. A Will ensures your assets, guardianship of children, and legacy are handled according to your preferences.
What happens if I don’t have a Will?
If you pass away without a Will, your assets and guardianship decisions may be made by local courts, following Sharia principles. This could result in outcomes that differ significantly from your intentions, especially for non-Muslim expatriates.
Can I specify guardians for my children in my Will?
Yes, specifying guardianship for minor children is a key aspect of the Wills we draft. This ensures that your children’s care is decided by you, not left to legal uncertainty.
Are there specific laws for expat Wills in the UAE?
Yes, in 2021, Abu Dhabi introduced progressive laws allowing expatriates to draft Wills under civil principles. These laws provide more flexibility and protection for non-Muslim expats.
How long does it take to draft a Will?
The timeline depends on the complexity of your estate and requirements. However, our streamlined process is designed to be efficient, often completing the initial draft within a few days.
