BSA corporate associate
Bradley Moran has recently been approved as a DIFC Will
Draftsman.
A DIFC Will is one of the most straightforward ways for
non-Muslim expatriates living in the UAE to direct and protect the
succession of their local assets if anything should happen to
them.
If you're a non-Muslim and die without a Will, or with only
an overseas Will (i.e. a Will in the UK) then your local assets
will be distributed according to Shari'ah law and not
necessarily in accordance with your wishes. If you have children,
in the absence of a Will, the local courts can become involved and
decide who would become your child's guardian.
A properly drafted and registered DIFC Will offers you, your
family and any children you may have the comfort of legal
certainty, family planning, distribution instructions and
protection for your assets.
