Expatriates can register a Will in Dubai through the DIFC Wills Service Centre (WSC) or through a UAE Notary Public. The DIFC WSC is specifically designed for non-Muslims residing in or owning assets in Dubai and other Emirates, giving full testamentary freedom over UAE-located assets.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__item\" role=\"listitem\">\n      <button class=\"ab-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><br \/>\n        How long does it take to register a Will in Dubai?<br \/>\n        <span class=\"ab-faq__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><br \/>\n      <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__a\">Once all documents are prepared and reviewed by a qualified lawyer, the DIFC WSC registration appointment typically takes 1\u20132 hours. Document preparation and legal drafting usually requires 3\u20137 working days depending on the complexity of your estate. In urgent circumstances, expedited processing may be possible.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__item\" role=\"listitem\">\n      <button class=\"ab-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><br \/>\n        What does a DIFC Will cost in Dubai?<br \/>\n        <span class=\"ab-faq__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><br \/>\n      <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__a\">DIFC WSC registration fees start from AED 10,000 for a single Will and AED 15,000 for mirror Wills (couples). Additional costs include legal drafting fees charged by your chosen law firm. Contact Albasti Advocates at +971-04-397-0701 for a tailored fee estimate based on your estate&#8217;s complexity.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__item\" role=\"listitem\">\n      <button class=\"ab-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><br \/>\n        Does a UAE Will cover overseas assets?<br \/>\n        <span class=\"ab-faq__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><br \/>\n      <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__a\">A UAE-registered Will covers assets located within the UAE. For assets in other countries, you typically need a separate Will in each jurisdiction. Our team advises on coordinating multi-jurisdiction estate planning to ensure all your global assets are properly covered.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__item\" role=\"listitem\">\n      <button class=\"ab-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><br \/>\n        What happens if I die in the UAE without a Will?<br \/>\n        <span class=\"ab-faq__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><br \/>\n      <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__a\">Without a Will, UAE Sharia succession law applies to the estate of both Muslims and non-Muslims by default. Bank accounts may be frozen during the lengthy court process, assets may be distributed contrary to your wishes, and your family \u2014 including minor children \u2014 will be subject to court decisions regarding guardianship.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__item\" role=\"listitem\">\n      <button class=\"ab-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><br \/>\n        Can I register a Will if I am not resident in the UAE?<br \/>\n        <span class=\"ab-faq__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><br \/>\n      <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__a\">Yes. The DIFC WSC allows non-residents who own assets in the UAE (such as property or investments) to register a Will. You will need to attend an appointment at the DIFC WSC office in person, but your lawyer can manage much of the preparation remotely prior to your visit.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__item\" role=\"listitem\">\n      <button class=\"ab-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><br \/>\n        Can Muslims register a Will in Dubai?<br \/>\n        <span class=\"ab-faq__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><br \/>\n      <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"ab-faq__a\">Muslim UAE nationals and Muslim expatriates have their estates governed primarily by Islamic Sharia succession principles. However, they may register a Will through a UAE Notary Public to confirm specific bequests within Sharia limits (up to one-third of the estate to non-heirs). Specialist legal advice is strongly recommended to navigate these rules effectively.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"ab-cta ab-cta--gold\" role=\"complementary\" aria-label=\"Final call to action\">\n<div class=\"ab-cta__eyebrow\">35+ Years of UAE Legal Excellence<\/div>\n<h3>Secure Your Family&#8217;s Future Today<\/h3>\n<p>\n      Don&#8217;t leave your loved ones unprotected.
