Why is Will Drafting Important in the UAE?
For foreign nationals and non-Muslim residents in the UAE, the inheritance process can be particularly challenging, given that the country follows Islamic Sharia law for inheritance unless a legally recognized will is in place. Without a will, your assets—including property, wealth, and savings—could be distributed according to Sharia principles, which may not align with your wishes.
If you’re a foreigner or non-Muslim resident in the UAE with assets or real estate, it’s crucial to ensure that your will accurately reflects your desires for how your estate should be distributed. At FAKHER & CO, we provide expert will drafting services tailored to your needs, helping you navigate the complexities of UAE law and safeguard your legacy.
