About DIFC Courts Wills Service Centre

What are DIFC Wills?

DIFC Wills are registered with the DIFC Courts Wills Service Centre established as part of DIFC Courts in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. These Wills are prepared in accordance with the Wills and Probate Registry Rules implemented by the DIFC Courts. The Rules are designed as per the principles of English Law which provide the testators complete freedom in choosing their beneficiaries and other aspects of their estate planning after death. This makes it easy for the non-Muslims to opt out of the application of Sharia Law which would otherwise apply in the absence of a duly registered Will in the UAE.

What are the benefits of DIFC Wills?

The main benefits of registering Wills with the DIFC Courts Wills Service Centre are as follows:

  1. You can choose your beneficiaries as per your own wishes. This means that you can avoid the application of Sharia Law to the distribution of your estate after your death.
  2. You can choose guardians for your children below the age of 21 years.
  3. You can leave any specific instructions about your personal affairs in the Wills.
  4. The probate process for executing the DIFC Wills is quick and straightforward. It only requires filing the application along with a copy of the death certificate and a list of assets.

What is the legislative framework for DIFC Wills?

DIFC Wills are written and registered pursuant the DIFC Wills & Probate Registry Rules (Rules). These Rules follow the principles of English law which provide the testators of the Wills complete freedom with respect to writing their Wills.
