  • WILLS IN THE UAE : A BRIEF OVERVIEW

    Wills in the UAE : A brief overview Why make a Will? The interpretation of inheritance laws and how they are applied by the UAE courts is a matter that concerns many of us as expatriates. The key questions seem to be: Whether the inheritance and intestacy laws of India, our home country, prevail over the UAE’s local processes, which follow the principles of Sharia. Whether U.A.E law is applicable only to UAE nationals, or to all Muslims, or even to all expatriates irrespective of nationality and religion. There are different aspects to the inheritance laws in the UAE. These laws are explained later in this discussion. The UAE courts do not follow the process of common law, in comparison to India. Hence, precedent on the precise interpretation of laws relating to inheritance is not established. Therefore, while execution of a Will may not ensure distribution of savings, wealth and assets in accordance with one’s wishes in all cases, it is definit…
