We have a robust knowledge of Wills and inheritance/probate law and how it applies to expatriates in the region. If your dispute relates to a DIFC/ UAE/Sharia/Abu Dhabi/ UK Will or probate, we can advise and represent you from the UAE. We also assist in the administration of deceased estates/probate within the UAE. Wherever possible, we use alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation to reach an agreement. However, if court action proves inevitable, we will strenuously defend your interests.
