Wills
Wills Specialists– MBH advocates and legal consultants
A Will is an essential legal document that allows you to determine how your assets will be managed and distributed after your passing. Your estate may include real estate, bank accounts, investments, insurance proceeds, valuable personal belongings, vehicles, and other possessions you legally own.
For non-Muslim expatriates in the UAE, a Will is particularly important as it enables you to specify that your estate should be distributed according to your wishes rather than under Sharia law. It also provides an opportunity to appoint executors and trustees, nominate temporary or permanent guardians for your children, support charitable causes, and outline your funeral preferences.
At Mbh Advocates and Legal Consultants, our experienced team has extensive expertise in drafting Wills and trusts. We are registered with the Will and Probate Registry in DIFC, ensuring that every Will we prepare is legally valid and enforceable in the UAE. We guide clients through the entire process, helping you consider all aspects of your estate and expressing your intentions clearly and effectively. Our expertise extends to individuals with significant personal or business assets, providing tailored solutions that protect your wealth and legacy.
Will Drafting and Estate Planning
MBH Advocates assists clients with will preparation, intended beneficiaries, estate-planning documents and arrangements for family assets in the UAE. The consultation begins with your objectives, the documents available and the current stage of the matter.
To prepare for a consultation, gather identification, a list of assets and liabilities, ownership documents, existing wills and details of intended beneficiaries. Highlight disputed points and tell the team about any notice, hearing or other time-sensitive development.
We discuss the issues raised by the documents and the available next steps for your matter. The proposed approach depends on the facts, applicable rules and competent authority; no outcome or timeframe is guaranteed.

Probate and succession matters are generally handled by the competent UAE court or approved wills registry. Eligible non-Muslims may also use specialist registration routes such as the DIFC Wills Service Centre.
Common documents include passports and Emirates IDs, family-status documents, asset schedules, title deeds, company interests, bank or investment details, beneficiary information and any earlier wills or estate-planning instruments.
Proper planning can document intended beneficiaries, appoint executors or guardians where legally permitted, address UAE assets, reduce ambiguity and support a more orderly probate and distribution process.
The process usually involves identifying assets and family circumstances, selecting the correct legal and registration route, drafting, execution or registration, periodic review, and probate or estate administration after death.
