How a DIFC Will works for expats in Dubai
30 October 2026

A DIFC Will lets non-Muslim residents set out who inherits, who looks after minor children, and who administers the estate — under DIFC Courts rather than default local succession rules.
Who it is for
- Expat residents with assets in Dubai or the wider UAE
- Parents who want a named guardian for children under 21
- Anyone who wants a bilingual draft reviewed by a licensed UAE advocate
What happens on MyDubaiWill
- Answer a guided interview about family, assets, and wishes
- Upload Emirates ID so identity checks can run
- A licensed advocate reviews, edits, and stamps the draft before release
