Secure your real estate investments with our specialized will setup services in Dubai, ensuring your property assets are protected and your legacy is preserved.

Safeguard Your Assets, Ensuring Your Wishes

In Dubai, where Shariah law plays a pivotal role in estate planning, it's imperative for expats and foreign investors to have a will in place to ensure their assets are distributed according to their personal wishes. Without a will, assets are distributed under Shariah law by default, which may not align with the investor's intentions, particularly for non-Muslims. Recent legal reforms offer more flexibility for Muslims and non-Muslims in estate planning, allowing assets to be distributed outside Shariah law's default provisions. By drafting a will, expats and foreign investors can assert control over their asset distribution, securing their investments and their family's future in Dubai's vibrant market.

This is where RealTrust's expertise becomes invaluable. Our law firm partners have extensive knowledge and experience in will planning within Dubai's unique legal landscape, they provide tailored guidance to navigate these complexities, ensuring your will accurately reflects your wishes and complies with local laws. Choosing RealTrust means partnering with a team that understands the intricacies of Dubai's estate laws, offering peace of mind and a secure legacy for your assets and loved ones.
