What is a Will?
A Will is arguably the most important legal document that you will ever create in your life. A Will:
- directs how your property will be managed and distributed; and
- provides for the care of your minor children, after your death.
If you are a non-Muslim expat in the UAE, a validly written Will could be the only possible way to expect your wishes to be respected in respect of your assets and children.
