The legal age to buy and own a property in the UAE is 21 years old.

This is the age at which an individual is considered an adult and is legally able to enter into contracts and make major financial decisions.

However, minors (under 21 years old) can still own property in the UAE through a guardian or trustee.

The legal age to own a property in the UAE is 21. This means that if you are 18 years old, you will not be able to buy or own property in your own name until you reach the age of 21.

However, you may be able to have a guardian or family member purchase the property on your behalf until you reach the legal age.

It is important to consult with a legal advisor or real estate agent in the UAE for specific guidance on purchasing property as a minor.

Dear Questioner,

There isn't a specific legal age requirement to own property in the UAE. This applies throughout the country, including Dubai.

However, there are some nuances to consider:

- Minors (under 21):

Minors cannot directly purchase property. If a minor inherits or receives property as a gift, it will be held in their name with a legal guardian managing it until they reach adulthood (usually 21 years old).

- Entering into contracts:

While there's no age limit for ownership, signing contracts typically requires reaching the legal adult age, which is generally considered 21.

In essence, you can own property at any age in the UAE, but if you're under 21, a legal guardian will need to handle the purchase and manage the property on your behalf.

Dear Questioner,

If you have reached the age of 21, you can own real estate on your own, but before reaching this age, it is not permissible except with the approval of your guardian.

The legal age is 21 years according to the Islamic lunar calendar (equivalent to 20 years and 5 months in the Gregorian calendar).

However, you can go to the Personal Status Court and obtain permission from the judge to be able to purchase the property.

A person reaches the age of majority if he completes twenty-one lunar years.

The legal age of majority in the UAE is 21 years.
