Muslim Wills

Yes — but not through the DIFC Courts Wills Service, which is open only to non-Muslims. For Muslim testators, wills are handled through the onshore courts route in Dubai. We prepare the documentation and coordinate the attestation and submission, so you arrive with everything the registrar expects.

Under Islamic inheritance rules as broadly applied in the UAE, a bequest is generally capped at one third of the estate, and a bequest to a legal heir typically requires the consent of the other heirs. The remaining estate is divided according to the prescribed shares. A will can still be valuable — for the discretionary portion, for specific directions, and to remove doubt for your family.

No — and we say so plainly. The calculation of prescribed shares belongs to a specialist in personal Islamic law, and we will not guess at your family's entitlements. Our role is the will itself — drafting, documentation, and getting it properly attested — alongside Sharia-share advice you obtain separately.

Your identification, details of your assets in the UAE, the names of the beneficiaries and executors you intend to name, and any specialist advice you have already received on shares. We turn that into a draft, review it with you, and prepare it for attestation.

Then a different register is likely right for you — see our will drafting service and the DIFC wills registration service for the non-Muslim routes.
