And if it is really extortionate do you think we could try and claim it back of the company seeings how it's them that will have brought us there? And apologies for the appalling grammar, 4 weeks of single parenthood is seriously taking it's toll......

I've also heard that UK wills are not easy to get to stand here and I won't pretend I am an expert on this subject. This seminar has come about because many of my clients and contacts ask about this important subject and so we spent time looking for someone qualified and experience in the GCC market where things are never clear.

Will writing is a serious and important subject most people don't take seriously. Regardless of who you choose to engage to help you and weather you attend my seminar or not it's very important to make sure the person you deal is not only qualified but experience in the GCC/UAE and understands the implications of Sharia law on your locally held assets.
