Overview
What wills coordination involves
Without a registered will, the distribution of Dubai property on death is determined by the courts under applicable law. Non-Muslim owners can register a will through the DIFC Wills Service Centre or Dubai Courts; Muslim owners have options within Sharia principles. The will itself must be drafted by a qualified legal professional.
Our role is coordination: we connect you with the appropriate drafter, assemble the property and identification documents, arrange translation where needed and manage the registration appointment, so the will is valid and findable when it matters.
Coordination service. ASMA manages the paperwork and sequencing; the underlying decision or act is made by the relevant licensed professional or authority.

Fees
Quoted on enquiry

Frequently asked
Questions about wills coordination
Do I need a Dubai will if I have one at home?
In most cases a UAE-registered will is strongly advisable for UAE assets, as a foreign will may not be recognised quickly or at all. Your drafter will advise.
Can the will cover property in other emirates?
Registration options differ by emirate and registry. We confirm the correct registry with the drafter.
