WILLS, Trust & Foundation

Estate planning, also known as succession planning, is possibly the most underappreciated aspect of financial preparation.

If you live in the United Arab Emirates, drafting a will is a must. Because the UAE is a country where everything is run in order and with discipline, there is no risk of injustice or exploitation when transferring assets and properties to legitimate heirs. However, transferring ownership becomes problematic because of this disciplined and supervised structure if a person does not make a will before passing away. For example, all dependent visas would be revoked, bank accounts would be blocked, benefits and life insurance policies can be handed to the state, partners can assert a right, and asset distribution can be unfair based on local legislation.

Our team of legal advisors and succession planners can help you make this in the most efficient way possible.
