Exemption of Will in the UAE

The United Arab Emirates has a very unique legal system governing inheritance and wills, allowing nationals and expatriates alike to dispose of their assets by their own free will. The Exemption of Will process allows an individual to apply for special exemptions under UAE law, thereby assuring that their estates are distributed according to their wishes, rather than being subject to the laws of Sharia in the event of intestacy.

What is the Exemption of Will in UAE?

The exemption of will refers to special legal provisions whereby a person can plan his inheritance outside the ambit of the default rules of succession in UAE. This becomes of prime importance for expatriates, as under UAE law, the Shariah-based law of inheritance would generally apply if a person does not have a valid registered will. Through exemption, one will be able to do the following:

Protect non-Muslim family members’ rights.

Distribute assets across multiple jurisdictions.

Ensure the estate aligns with personal preferences or the laws of their home country.
