Consider ADJD first. Residents of every emirate, including Dubai, can register a will with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department online. The government fee is AED 950, the will is in Arabic and English, and you meet the notary by video call. Most of our clients choose this route. See our ADJD wills service.

How a Dubai Courts will works

  • The law. Dubai Law No. 15 of 2017 covers the wills and estates of non-Muslims in Dubai, and the Dubai Courts notary can attest them.
  • The language. Arabic is the language of Dubai Courts. Most expats approve an English version first, and the Arabic is a legal translation of it, set side by side.
  • Signing. You sign before the notary, with two witnesses where required. The notary checks your identity.
  • Fees. Notary fees are paid to Dubai Courts, not to us. Check the Dubai Courts website for the current amount.

What we do

  • Type your will in Arabic and English from your instructions or your draft.
  • Translate your English will into Arabic with the stamp of an approved legal translator, so both texts say the same thing.
  • Check names, dates and figures against your passport, Emirates ID and title deeds before you go to the notary.
  • Re-issue the document if the notary asks for a change in the wording.

We prepare the document and the translation. The notary registers the will, and we do not give legal advice.

What to send us

  • Passport and Emirates ID copies
  • Your assets in the UAE: property, bank accounts, company shares, vehicles
  • Your beneficiaries and their shares
  • The guardians for your children, and your executor

Price

Translation of a will between Arabic and English starts from 50 AED per page, and other languages from 150 AED per page. Typing and preparing a will is quoted after we hear what you need. We confirm the full price before we start.

Common questions

Why does the Arabic text matter so much?

The court reads the Arabic. If the Arabic and English differ, the Arabic is the one the court follows. That is why the translation must be done by a legal translator.

Dubai Courts or DIFC?

Both register wills for non-Muslims. Dubai Courts works in Arabic; the DIFC Wills Service works in English and costs more. A lawyer can advise which suits you; we prepare the document for either.

Can you prepare wills for a married couple?
