Under UAE law, the shares of a company do not get transferred to the existing shareholders nor to the immediate family members in case of death of a shareholder. In the absence of a registered Will, the asset distribution will follow Shariah law even for a non-Muslim shareholder.
A non-Muslim can now register their Will to secure their assets in the UAE under the common Law jurisdiction of Dubai International Financial Center. Having a registered Will can help to distribute your assets as per your wish, protect your children and nominate guardians rather than relying on automatic appointment by UAE law, avoid delays, costs and possible family disputes.
Pinnacle Origin can assist in your UAE Will registration with DIFC Courts.
