Drawing up a will for property and its registration

Happy property owners - think about the future of your children!

Today, Dubai means something special for everyone. Some see it as an object for investment, expatriates as a permanent place of residence, vacationers as a great place for a long-awaited vacation, investing for the purpose of subsequent rental of finished real estate and a profitable return on investment.

The Russians invest in Dubai real estate not only for profit, but also for living during the holidays and vacations, as they prefer to own a second home in the Emirates, where they are attracted by factors such as life safety, an efficient business environment, the availability of real estate of the highest class a, excellent weather conditions, modern shopping and a number of other reasons.

Due to the fact that the United Arab Emirates is a Muslim country, all courts consider the inheritance of expatriates of Muslim religion under Sharia law.

Drawing up a will for property and its registration

A will is a legal document expressing a person’s desire for how his or her condition, including cash and real estate, should be distributed after his or her death. The main purpose of the will is to appoint heirs and indicate the property transferred by inheritance. But, despite the fact that the UAE courts accept civil cases related to marriages, divorces and other problems of Muslims, they also consider these issues and accept wills from expatriates of any nationality and religion, including Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs living in the country and with a UAE resident visa.

Testament of real estate

Expatriates with a valid UAE resident visa can make a will and register it with a local court. In order for a will to be recognized here as genuine and legal, it must be drawn up in accordance with the laws of the country of which the testator is a citizen, and certified and legalized at the embassy or consulate of that country.

If the will is legalized by the embassy or consulate of the country whose citizen is the person who made the will and is duly certified by a Dubai court, then all his wishes regarding the distribution of money and property after his death will be fulfilled. However, according to Art. 17 (5) of the UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 1987, "the law of the United Arab Emirates should apply to wills drawn up by foreigners regarding their property located in the UAE." Thus, a will drawn up in the UAE should indicate property located in the UAE.

As you know, foreigners in the UAE were allowed to buy property in certain areas of Dubai, and happy property owners are already thinking about its fate.

Expatriates who own real estate in Dubai must make a will, translate it into Arabic and notarize it at the embassy or consulate of their country in the UAE, and then register with the Dubai Court and the Dubai Land Department. Thus, you can only bequeath a finished property for which a "Certificate of registration of real estate" in the Dubai Land Department has been issued, since if the certificate is not received, the will will not be registered in the Land Department.

If a person dies without leaving a will, then according to Art. 17/1 of the UAE Civil Code, Federal Law No. 2, "inheritance will occur according to the laws of the country of the deceased, which is valid at the time of death." This law was enacted so that there would be no confusion regarding the question of inheritance for expatriates. If the deceased, who did not leave a will, was a Muslim, the laws of Sharia will be applied to his money and property, which means that from his property all debts to the further distribution of property will be paid first.

In order to be sure that the testament of real estate and other property located in the UAE has been drawn up correctly, we advise the owners of movable and real estate to contact the Dacha Real Estate agency, which is supported by Kashwani Law Firm, where lawyers who speak both Arabic and Russian, which will help to draw up and certify all the necessary documents.
