How will registration works

01

Identity verification

We verify your identity from passport and Emirates ID so the will is registered to the correct testator.

02

Asset & beneficiary declaration

You declare assets, name beneficiaries and their shares, and nominate guardians where minor children are involved.

03

Verification

We check the declaration for completeness and consistency against registry requirements before drafting.

04

Drafting & review

We prepare the will in the registry-approved form and share it for your review and confirmation.

05

Registration

We coordinate signing and registration with the chosen registry and deliver your registered will.

Frequently asked questions

Which registry will handle my will?

Depending on your assets and preference, your will can be registered with the DIFC Wills Service Centre or the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department non-Muslim wills registry. We recommend the right registry based on where your assets are located during the intake.

Do I need to be a UAE resident to register a will?

Non-Muslim residents and, for certain registries, non-residents with UAE assets can register a will. We confirm eligibility for your situation before proceeding.

What information do I provide?

After purchase you complete a guided intake: your identity documents, the assets you want covered, your beneficiaries and their shares, and guardian nominations for any minor children.

Can I update my will later?

Yes. A registered will can be amended or replaced through the registry. We can assist with updates when your circumstances or assets change.

How long does registration take?

Timelines depend on the registry and the completeness of your declaration. Once your details and documents are in order, drafting and registration typically proceed within a few weeks.

Ready to register your UAE will?

Buying creates your account automatically — then complete the guided intake and we take it through drafting and registration.
