Our Registration Process
Registering a Will in the UAE is a straightforward three-step journey when managed by professionals.
1. Consultation
We discuss your specific family structure and assets to determine the most robust legal framework for your needs.
2. Drafting
Our legal experts draft your Will in accordance with UAE standards, including professional Arabic translation.
3. Registration
We coordinate the final signing and registration with the ADJD or DIFC Courts to ensure your Will is legally enforceable.
DIFC vs. ADJD
What's the Difference?
ADJD Wills (Abu Dhabi)
Registered with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department. These are Civil Law Wills tailored for non-Muslim residents in the capital, providing a cost-effective and streamlined way to protect assets and nominate guardians.
DIFC Wills (Dubai)
The gold standard for Common Law protection in the region. Based on English law principles, DIFC Wills offer absolute legal certainty for high-value asset portfolios and international business owners.
Expert Selection Support
Choosing the wrong body can lead to legal delays during probate. We provide an audit of your current assets to ensure you select the framework that offers the widest possible protection.
