What will happen to UAE assets when there is no Will?

Without a Will in the UAE, any property owned by a non-citizen that dies in the UAE will be put under the court supervision of the Probate Process which can take many months. This means the deceased’s property will be put on hold until the court makes its decision and rules out the inheritance distribution of the assets as per the UAE inheritance laws even though they might incorporate Sharia principles. To make sure your assets are inherited as per your wishes, you need to make sure a Will is prepared for the UAE jurisdiction.
