If you’re living in Dubai or the UAE and have assets in the United Kingdom, it is essential to have a valid UK Will in place. At TWS Legal Consultants, we make it easy to manage your UK Estate without the need to travel to the United Kingdom.
As UK solicitors based in Dubai, TWS Legal Consultants provides comprehensive UK Will drafting and registration services for British expatriates and international residents with assets in the United Kingdom. We understand the unique challenges of cross-border Estate & Succession Planning and offer unparalleled convenience, ensuring your UK Assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes, without the need to travel to the UK.
Living in the dynamic environment of Dubai or anywhere in the UAE, while maintaining financial ties to the UK, requires meticulous planning. Your British assets, whether property, bank accounts, investments, or pensions, are governed by English law. Without a specific and Registered UK Will, these assets could be subject to intestacy rules, unintended taxation, or lengthy probate processes that might not align with your wishes or those of your loved ones.
Our UK-qualified solicitors are active members of STEP (Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners). This expertise allows us to provide comprehensive, legally sound solutions that comply with all the requirements of the laws of England and Wales. We are your local lawyers abroad, offering approachable, professional, and highly responsive service to protect your legacy in the UK.
TWS Legal Consultants is uniquely positioned to assist expatriates in the UAE who need UK Wills. We are one of the few law firms in the region offering comprehensive UK Will Drafting and Estate Planning Services fully tailored to individuals residing outside the UK but maintaining UK-based assets or family ties.
You don’t need to go to the UK to get legal advice. We are your trusted British Will specialists right here in Dubai.
You should consider drafting a UK Will if you:
For British expatriates and foreign nationals living in the UAE with assets in the United Kingdom, a dedicated UK Will is not just an option; it’s a necessity. Relying solely on a UAE Will (DIFC or ADJD) or having no Will at all can lead to significant complications under English law.
If you pass away without a valid UK Will, it is referred to as dying intestate. This means that the Rules of Intestacy under English law will automatically determine how your UK estate will be distributed. These Rules define a rigid order of priority, starting with the surviving spouse and children, potentially excluding individuals you wish to benefit.
If you live in Dubai and have assets in the UK, you must speak to us about ensuring a valid UK Will covers them. This is especially important if you also have a DIFC Will or an ADJD Will, as a Will drafted and executed abroad could inadvertently invalidate your Will registered in the UAE, or vice versa, if not drafted correctly.
This complex area is known as “conflict of laws.” Without careful legal planning:
Our UK-qualified solicitors specialise in drafting Wills that work in harmony. We ensure your UK Will specifically addresses your British assets and that any UAE Will (DIFC or ADJD) is drafted to avoid conflict, providing you with a seamless and robust Estate & Succession Plan for both jurisdictions
