Sharia Law, as far as inheritance is concerned, only applies to muslims. If you are a non-muslim, then the law of your country applies (not sure what happens if you're from an Islamic country though). If there is no Will, then you'd have to get a probate, get it legalised and the Bank releases your funds.

If a man dies, under Sharia it is possible for their joint assets to be passed to another (male) member of the family.
Ladies, protect yourselves.
AND - for Brits, be aware that no matter where you live, on death your worldwide estate is subject to UK IHT.

Sorry, but it absolutely does not. In the UAE Sharia Law applies to everybody, no matter where they are from. This is why it is important to have wills that have been validated here.
