Guardianship Services
Interim and permanent guardians for minor children, named inside your will — 2 guardianship services for families in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in English and Arabic.
What Is a Guardianship Appointment?
A guardianship appointment names the people who raise your minor children if both parents die — an interim guardian for the days after, and a permanent guardian for the years that follow — written into your will and placed on the official record.
Interim Guardian Named
Someone who steps in immediately, so the answer to "who takes the children tomorrow morning" is written down.
Permanent Guardian Named
Someone who raises your children for the long term, with backups if your first choice cannot serve.
Guardianship in Each Emirate
Guardianship follows the will it is written into. Dubai wills register with the DIFC Courts Wills Service; Abu Dhabi wills register with the ADJD Civil Wills Section.
