Will Drafting - Individuals & Families

Drafting a Will is not a mechanical exercise. Done properly, it requires a careful conversation about your circumstances: what assets you hold and where, who you want to benefit and in what proportions, who you want to make decisions on behalf of minor children, what happens in different scenarios including the simultaneous death of spouses, and whether there are particular wishes around specific assets or family members that need to be addressed with care.

We draft Wills that are comprehensive, legally precise, and clear in their instructions - Wills that leave as little as possible to interpretation or dispute. Ambiguity in a Will is one of the most common causes of estate litigation, and it is entirely avoidable with careful drafting.

We draft Wills covering UAE-based assets including real property registered in the Dubai Land Department, bank and investment accounts, shares in UAE companies, vehicles, and personal property. Where clients have assets across multiple jurisdictions, we advise on whether coordinated international Will structures are appropriate and coordinate with overseas counsel where required.
