Understanding Inheritance Law in Dubai
Inheritance in Dubai is governed by a blend of Sharia law and UAE federal laws. For Muslim residents, Sharia law primarily dictates the distribution of assets, whereas non-Muslims can opt to have their home country’s laws applied to their estate by drafting a legally recognized will. Without a will, the local courts may distribute assets according to Sharia law, which may not align with the deceased’s wishes.
The inheritance process can involve several legal steps, including the validation of wills, the identification and distribution of assets, and the resolution of any disputes. Given the potential for legal complexities, it’s essential to have professional support to navigate the process efficiently and in compliance with Dubai’s regulations.
