Default Making a Will in Dubai

Hi,

I need to make a Will here in Dubai.

Under Sharia Law I believe my wife would only receive a fraction of my assets, instead of all my assets.

Does anyone know how I go about making a Will?

Yes, I can help with this. I can give you info regarding the implications of Sharia law, but seriously anyone with any assets or dependents ought to have a will. Not to do so is, IMO, irresponsible,

My company offers a full will writing service, headed up by a lawyer.

You can also find some useful info (written by me) in the wiki section.


EDIT> Have also PM'd you
