Protect Your Legacy Across Generations
Are you aware that Sharia law will govern the distribution of your assets?
As per the latest GCC statistics, two out of three people do not have a WILL in UAE, which is why millions of dollars stay unclaimed in the banks every year since the owner is no more and there is no WILL.Â
What happens if you pass away without a Will in UAE?
Immediate Freezing of Bank Accounts: Upon death, all bank accounts, irrespective of single or joint, are immediately frozen.
Visa Cancellation: All dependent visas, including those for children, are automatically canceled upon the sponsor’s passing.
Estate Distribution Risks: Local laws may govern estate distribution, potentially leading to unfavorable outcomes.
Risk to Children’s Inheritance: Under local inheritance laws, children may receive little to nothing from the estate.
Life Insurance & EOS At Risk: Payouts from life insurance policies and end-of-service benefits may become part of the estate instead of going directly to the family.
Investment Freezing: Other investments may be frozen or delayed until estate settlement is completed.
Family Disputes: Inheritance disputes among family members can arise, causing delays and legal challenges.
Ex-Spouse Claims: Former spouses may have legal grounds to claim a portion of the estate.
Inheritance Tax (IHT): In jurisdictions where IHT applies, tax authorities could claim up to 40% of the estate’s value.
Child Custody Concerns: In certain jurisdictions, custody of a child may not automatically be granted to a female family member.
Benefits Of Having A Will
Expedited Court Process: Ensures a faster legal process for estate distribution.
Honoring Your Wishes: Your estate will be distributed according to your Will in the UAE.
Control Over Inheritance: You retain full control over how your assets are passed on.
Protection of EOS Benefits & Gratuity: End-of-service benefits, gratuity, and workers’ compensation can be allocated as per your wishes.
Life Insurance Flexibility: Life insurance payouts can be directed to specific individuals or entities of your choosing.
Investment Transfers: Any investments can be seamlessly transferred to designated beneficiaries.
Minimizing Family Disputes: Clear asset distribution ensures transparency, reducing the risk of conflicts.
Ex-Partner Exclusion: An exclusion clause can prevent former spouses from inheriting any assets.
