Why Expats Should Register a Will Immediately

For non-Muslim expats in the UAE, registering a Will isn’t just a recommendation—it’s a necessity. Without a valid, locally registered Will, your assets could be distributed according to Shariah law, which may not reflect your personal wishes. This could also affect guardianship arrangements for minor children, creating emotional and legal stress for your family.

Registering a Will ensures your decisions are protected and your family is spared unnecessary complications. It brings clarity to how your assets will be handled, allows you to appoint guardians, and gives you peace of mind—knowing that your legacy is secure, no matter what.
