Wills Registered
1. Wills Registered with the ADJD (Abu Dhabi Judicial Department) via ADGM Courts
Registering your will with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) through the ADGM Courts offers an affordable and efficient solution for both Non-Muslim and Muslim expatriates owning assets in the UAE. The virtual registration process is simple and streamlined, allowing for a smooth experience.
An ADJD-registered will not only protects tangible assets but also includes crucial provisions for the guardianship of minor children living in the UAE, ensuring their well-being and security until they reach the age of majority.
2. Wills Registered with the DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre)
Registering a will with the DIFC allows you to include both your UAE-based estate and global assets. This virtual registration process is straightforward and provides comprehensive protection for your estate. Standard provisions for the guardianship of minor children are included. At Precision Legal, we also offer professional assistance with the witnessing of your DIFC will to ensure everything is properly executed.
3. Reviewing Existing Wills (ADJD and DIFC)
It’s vital to regularly review your will to ensure it remains valid and in compliance with current legal requirements. At Precision Legal, we offer expert assistance in updating and amending your existing will to reflect any changes in your circumstances or the law.
Our services include:
- Revocation of Wills
- Aligning Wills with Company Framework
- Adding or Removing Executors
- Updating Guardianship Provisions
- Modifying Executorship
4. Probate and Inheritance Services
In the unfortunate event of a person’s passing, Precision Legal provides comprehensive support to ensure that the estate is distributed in accordance with the testator’s wishes or, where applicable, Sharia law. We handle estates with wills registered through both the ADJD and the DIFC, ensuring all legal requirements are met. Our probate services are essential for the smooth and lawful distribution of assets, guiding you through the entire process with expertise and care.
5. Division of Estates Under Sharia Law – UAE Law of Inheritance
The UAE’s inheritance laws, particularly those governed by Sharia Law, can be complex and differ significantly from what many expats may be familiar with. At Precision Legal, we provide expert guidance through the inheritance process in the UAE, ensuring compliance with local legal frameworks and Sharia provisions.
Our services include:
- Managing all administrative and legal tasks related to inheritance.
- Drafting Powers of Attorney.
- Assisting with the attestation of documents through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Justice.
- Representing clients in person to expedite the probate process.
- Collaborating closely with local counsel to ensure matters are handled efficiently and promptly.
6. Recognition of Foreign Wills
For wills made in the deceased’s home country, Precision Legal assists in ensuring their recognition within the UAE. Since procedures can vary depending on the Emirate, we guide you through the process, whether the application is made in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, ensuring all legal requirements are met for a smooth transition of assets.
7. Management of Estate Files
In cases where an individual passes away without a valid will, Precision Legal works closely with local legal counsel to manage the estate file efficiently. We collaborate with third-party entities to ensure the court’s decisions are enforced, providing a thorough and organized approach to the estate administration process.
