Other services
We handle your Abu Dhabi will from drafting to registration, so you decide how your UAE assets are shared and who looks after your children.
Other services
In Abu Dhabi, will registration is handled by the Civil Wills Office of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD), which accepts wills from both Muslims and non-Muslims. Non-Muslims can have their will governed by non-Sharia law, so their assets pass according to their own wishes.
Every will has to be prepared in English and Arabic before it can be registered, and you can amend it at any point after registration.
We draft your will, arrange the Arabic translation and guide you through registration, whether online or in person.
Three steps take you from a first draft to a registered Abu Dhabi will.
