Registering a will in the UAE is not just a formality – it’s a critical step to protect your assets, your family, and your legacy. Without a valid will, local laws (including Sharia compliance) may apply by default, which can lead to outcomes you did not intend – especially for expats and families with joint ownership of property, minor children, or international assets.
At Rissos Consulting, we help you register your wills and protect your assets in full compliance with UAE regulations, whether you’re a Muslim or non-Muslim expat.
