- “Stephen has been very impressed with the quality of your service – and he is a man who is rarely impressed. The staff at the British Embassy mentioned to him that you are the only person offering a proper will preparation service in Dubai and that he had gone to the right place – which he was also greatly pleased to hear.” - Rebecca Redhead, LLB (Hons), Barrister (non-practising), ACIArb
- “I was very impressed by their knowledge and professional approach. It is difficult to find a level of service that matches what we would take for granted back home – and I am so glad that I decided to instruct The Wills Specialists to prepare my wills.” Rosie Brotherston
- “Nita made me realise what a risk we were taking by failing to have a Sharia compliant will. She has deep knowledge of this area, and, a deep sense of urgency about the need to secure families and children. I can’t believe how naïve I have been to ignore this issue for the past five years. Now that I am completing the will process, I feel I am truly doing everything I can to protect my children’s future.” – Dr. Amanda Peters
- “If something were to happen to one or both parents, the default and majority case is that Sharia law is applied. Under Sharia, the surviving wife is entitled to only one eighth of the total estate and assets. Further, guardianship of the children may not be awarded to a surviving wife, but instead to a male relative of the father. For these reasons I have completed a UAE will for my family with The Wills Specialist. We were confident working with Nita because she is a fully qualified lawyer. Frighteningly, many of the companies offering to do wills in the UAE do not employ qualified lawyers.” - The Outpost Network (for general purposes of Shell employees and their families)
- “Dubai is an incredible city to work in and live but as a result of the Sharia legal system there can be implications for expats working here in the event of death. Should the person not have a local will in place then it can all go horribly wrong… Yesterday I just finished organising my will with Nita Maru who is a lawyer specialising in wills, and I thought it prudent to let other people know of my actions (and findings) as I am fully aware that many people like myself – even though we pride ourselves as being switched on – have not done the necessary to look after our loved ones should the worst occur.” Phil Bedford.
- “Nita Maru is a bona fide lawyer who is committed to helping expat families protect their families/assets in the UAE. Her firm is fully compliant and has a specific licence to draft wills in the UAE. I have had a bad experience with a so called will writing firm (anyone can start one), and have now drafted in this solicitor to help sort things out; she certainly knows her business and I trust her completely.” – Expatwoman forum post by ‘Tango’
- “After shifting to Dubai, writing a will or assigning power of attorney was the last thing on my mind. Thanks to Ms Nita Maru from The Wills Specialists who had helped me understand the importance of making a Will especially in a new country like UAE. Her services helped me to secure my family and assets which now work as a safeguard against the local law of the land for inheritance, confiscation and distribution of assets whether movable or immovable. By making this easier with her reliable legal aid and services at every step, drafting and executing the will and power of attorney and further guiding through all necessary aspects of legal provisions, I am convinced with her credibility to handle and carry out the Wills and would recommend her for her professional services. I found this service worth the money spent and would like to state that ‘those who take essential needs for granted in lieu of permanent safety receive neither security nor safety in life.’ – Madhup Dokania
