Frequently Asked Questions

Can a non-Muslim resident make a will in the UAE?

Yes. Non-Muslim residents can register a will with the competent UAE authority so that their wishes are applied to their UAE assets. We help you prepare it and choose the right registration route.

Can I notarize a document without a valid Emirates ID?

Yes. Dubai Courts notarization requires a valid Emirates ID. Without one (for example, if you are a visitor, a non-resident or your ID has expired), we arrange notarization through the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) with your passport, usually by video. We confirm the route for your case before booking.

Does the document need to be in Arabic?

UAE notaries work in Arabic, so non-Arabic documents are usually prepared bilingually or with a certified Arabic legal translation, which we provide.

Will a UAE-notarized document be accepted abroad?

Usually it also needs MOFA attestation and legalization by the destination country's embassy. We confirm the route for your country before notarization.

Dubai Courts Notary vs DIFC Wills vs ADJD: Which Registry?

Non-Muslim residents and property owners in the UAE can register a will so that their wishes are applied instead of the default inheritance rules. There are three main routes; which assets and emirates each one covers is confirmed for your case:

	Dubai Courts notary	DIFC Courts Wills Service	Abu Dhabi Judicial Department
What it is	Will notarized and registered through the Dubai Courts notary system	Will registered with the DIFC Courts Wills Service, under DIFC rules	Will registered under Abu Dhabi's framework for non-Muslims
Language	Arabic or bilingual Arabic–English	English	Arabic or English, with translation where required
Probate	Dubai Courts	DIFC Courts	Abu Dhabi courts
Typical choice for	Residents with assets in Dubai who prefer the onshore courts	Expatriates who want an English-language, common-law style process	Residents and owners with assets in Abu Dhabi

The right route depends on where your assets are, your family situation and the language you want. Wordcraft is not a law firm or a wills registry: we help you understand the routes, prepare and translate the documents, and book the notary or registry appointment. For a full guide, read will writing services in Dubai.

Who Can Register a Will in the UAE

Non-Muslims: these registries are designed for non-Muslim testators; Muslims' estates generally follow Sharia rules
Adults of sound mind: signing in person or through an approved remote process
Residents and non-residents who own assets in the UAE: property, bank accounts, shares or businesses
Couples: many families register mirror wills, one for each spouse

Each registry has its own minimum age, witness and document requirements, which we confirm when you contact us.

Guardianship Wills for Minor Children

For parents, the most important part of a will is often not the assets but the children. A will can name a guardian to look after minor children if both parents die, and some registries offer a dedicated guardianship will. Without one, the decision may be left to the court. We prepare the supporting documents (passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate) and their legal translation, so the registry has everything it needs.

Agreements We Prepare for Notarization

Partnership and shareholder agreements, and share transfer agreements
Sale agreements for vehicles, businesses and movable assets
Settlement and debt acknowledgement agreements
Memoranda of understanding and service agreements
Family agreements, such as maintenance or custody arrangements, where the parties agree

We draft or translate the agreement in Arabic and English and book the notary so each party's signature is verified. See all notarization services.
