Will Drafting for Real Estate in the UAE: Protecting Your Property and Legacy

Real estate is often one of the most valuable assets an individual can own, making it crucial to ensure that it is protected and correctly passed on to the next generation. In the UAE, the legal landscape surrounding property ownership and inheritance can be complex, particularly for expatriates and those with significant property investments. At Al Mazrouei Advocates & Legal Consultants

, we specialize in will drafting for real estate, providing you with the legal expertise needed to secure your property and ensure it is distributed according to your wishes.

The Importance of a Real Estate-Specific Will: A generic will may not adequately address the complexities associated with real estate assets. Property laws in the UAE can vary depending on the type of ownership, location, and the nationality of the owner. By drafting a will specifically for your real estate holdings, you ensure that your property is handled in accordance with local laws and your personal preferences, minimizing the risk of disputes among heirs.

Key Considerations for Real Estate Will Drafting in the UAE:

1. Property Ownership Type: The type of property ownership—whether freehold or leasehold—can impact how your real estate is inherited. Understanding these nuances is essential for accurate will drafting.

2. Location of the Property: The legal frameworks governing real estate in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or other emirates can differ. It’s important to consider these regional variations when drafting your will.

3. Foreign Ownership Laws: Expatriates owning property in the UAE may face different inheritance laws compared to UAE nationals. Ensuring your will complies with both local and international regulations is crucial for a smooth transfer of assets.

4. Multiple Properties: If you own multiple properties, whether in the UAE or abroad, your will must clearly outline how each asset is to be distributed to avoid any legal complications.

Our Will Drafting Process:

• Initial Consultation: We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your real estate portfolio and your specific wishes for the distribution of these assets.

• Legal Review: Our legal team reviews the ownership structure, location, and any relevant laws affecting your property to ensure your will is compliant with UAE regulations.

• Drafting the Will: We draft a clear and legally binding will that accurately reflects your intentions for your real estate assets, including any specific instructions for property management or sale.

• Registration: To ensure your will is enforceable, we assist with the registration process, either through the Dubai Courts, Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, or the DIFC Wills Service, depending on your circumstances.
