Private Clients and DIFC Wills

We advise individuals, families and business owners based or invested in the UAE on how they hold their assets, succession planning and sensitive family matters. We handle every mandate with discretion and long-term judgement. Drafting a will is often the starting point of the discussion around family protection and growth strategy.

Drafting a will is often the starting point of the discussion  around family protection and growth strategy.

 

For non-Muslim residents and investors, a registered DIFC will provides certainty over how UAE-based assets, including real estate, bank accounts and business interests, are distributed. It also allows guardians to be appointed for minor children, avoiding the default application of local succession rules. We draft wills tailored to each client’s family and asset structure. We also make sure they are consistent with arrangements in other jurisdictions and work with foreign counsel, trustees and advisers where needed.
