Safeguarding the transfer of assets to family after death
I have some savings in banks and national bonds in my name and gratuity with the company.
I am working in a private sector company in Dubai since 2013. I have 2 minor kids and a wife in Dubai.
Can anyone advise what is the best plan to safeguard them if anything happens to me?
Thanks

Hello,
Before providing you with the best advice, may I ask if you are a Muslim or non-Muslim?

Hi,
We can determine what options may be available to you regarding potentially drafting a Will.
Certain technicalities will need to be reviewed prior to the implementation of the same.
For further information, contact us.

You can have a joint account with your wife to enable here to access your bank account. This will not help them accessing the fund, but they have to go through court first.
For the national bonds, they can have access to it through the court as it does not seem urgent to sell them and it can be held for 2-3 months till they are authorized to sell them by the court.
You can issue a Will for your assets if you are not a Muslim and you don't want to apply the Sharia law to your assets.

It is possible to write a will for children with what you own or want for children.
We want some details, are you a Muslim or not?
