Succession planning facilitates the smooth transfer of personal assets and businesses to the next generation, helping to avoid disputes between heirs and preserve family harmony. Succession is something that should be considered as soon as assets are acquired.

In the UAE, this approach will help ensure that your wishes are followed when succession takes place without recourse to local laws.
  • WILL (DIFC AND LOCAL COURTS)
    If you have real estate, securities, company shares or bank accounts in the UAE, a will registered with the Dubai Courts, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department or the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) will enable you to protect your heirs and ensure that your property is disposed of according to your own wishes rather than on the basis of local law and the ruling of an Emirates court.

    Our experts will help you draw up a will tailored to your circumstances with minimal financial and tax repercussions for you and your heirs. We can access any jurisdiction within the UAE: Mainland (Dubai Courts, Abu Dhabi Judicial Department) or the DIFC.

    • Ability to dispose of assets, including foreign assets, according to your wishes
    • Flexible terms and application of English law in the DIFC
  • FOUNDATION (DIFC, ADGM, RAK ICC)
    A foundation is a legal entity set up by an individual to manage his property for the benefit of a beneficiary or beneficiaries.

    The UAE has special jurisdictions for the creation of foundations, such as DIFC, ADGM and RAK ICC.

    Establishing a foundation and transferring property to it will enable you put in place a succession strategy right now in terms of both business management and the future transfer of property.

    • High level of confidentiality, creditor protection, efficient structure for long-term asset management
    • Availability of special tax regimes

SUPPORT FOR HEIRS


We also recommend considering instruments that will enable your heirs to gain swift access to funds to cover their day-to-day expenses and maintain their financial welfare before they inherit. A classic instrument for this is life insurance.
