FAQs – Will Writing in the UAE
What is a Will, and why is it important?
A Will is a legal document that outlines how your assets and personal wishes should be managed after your passing. It ensures your intentions are followed, protects your loved ones, and reduces the risk of disputes.
Who can make a Will in the UAE?
Any adult resident or citizen with assets in the UAE can make a Will. Expats can also create Wills for assets held within UAE jurisdictions, including bank accounts and property.
Can non-Muslims make a Will in the UAE?
Yes. Non-Muslims can draft Wills under UAE law to ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes, rather than the default Sharia law provisions.
What assets can be included in a Will?
A Will can cover real estate, bank accounts, investments, business shares, vehicles, personal possessions, and other financial assets held in the UAE.
How is a Will executed in the UAE?
Wills must be drafted in accordance with UAE regulations. They can be notarised at a UAE notary public or registered with the relevant Dubai or Abu Dhabi courts to ensure legal validity.
Can a Will be updated or revoked?
Yes. Wills can be updated or revoked at any time to reflect changes in circumstances, such as marriage, new children, or asset acquisitions.
Do expats need a separate Will for their home country assets?
Yes. Assets outside the UAE require a separate Will drafted according to the laws of the respective country, while UAE assets are covered under a UAE Will.

Tobuz provides professional guidance to draft, review, and register your Will according to UAE law. We ensure your wishes are legally enforceable and your loved ones are fully protected.
Is it necessary to register a Will in the UAE?
