Direct Enforcement
Under Dubai Law No. 2 of 2025, DIFC Wills have **exclusive jurisdiction** for Dubai assets. This means probate is handled directly in English by DIFC judges, bypassing the local administrative deputisation process.
Guardianship Mandate
For parents of minor children in 2026, the DIFC Guardianship Will is the only way to legally bypass Sharia-default custody. Appoint interim and permanent guardians with absolute legal certainty.
The 'Full Will' Coverage
A single "Full Will" (AED 10,000 + VAT) covers all 2026 UAE assets: Real estate, bank accounts, brokerage portfolios, and even **Digital Assets** held on local exchanges.
Remote Execution 2026
Sign your will from anywhere in the world. The 2026 DIFC Virtual Registry uses biometric verification and electronic signatures to register your will via a 20-minute video conference.
English-First Proceedings
Unlike Onshore Wills (which must be in Arabic), DIFC Wills are drafted, registered, and executed entirely in English. No risk of translation errors affecting your legacy.
Sharia Opt-Out
Without a registered will, UAE assets are distributed via Sharia-fixed shares. For example, a wife may only receive **1/8th** of the husband’s estate. A DIFC Will gives you 100% distribution control.
The Mirror Strategy
The 2026 "Mirror Will" package (AED 15,000 + VAT) allows spouses to register identical protection, ensuring seamless asset transfer to the survivor without freezing bank accounts.
