Q: Hello everyone, Good day to all of you! My father recently passed away (may he RIP) in Canada, I just found out he has a bank account in Dubai and would like to understand the procedure to collect the funds and close the account. We are Muslims as I understood that this might change the procedures (?). I am looking to hire a lawyer to help out with the above. I just need to know exactly what documents do I bring with me from Canada. I have the following already attested and certified by the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the UAE Embassy in Canada: 1) A will issued in Canada. 2) Death certificate. 3) Power of Attorney from my siblings. Thanks!

Q: My friend died in the UAE in a roadside accident. We claim blood money but they demand a succession certificate. What should we do to get that certificate?

Q: Hi Sir, Unfortunately, we lost our elder brother, sister in law and 8-month-old baby boy in a road traffic accident on 13th Sept. 2019. One baby girl who survived the accident was critical with traumatic injuries and multiple skull fractures. This accident took place at Haima, Sultanate of Oman while the family was on the way back home to Dubai. The baby girl was undergoing treatment in Khawla Hospital, Muscat, Oman, from 15th Sept to Jan 9th. After which we have airlifted her to India for further treatment. Now, I need to apply for a claim for 3 deaths and 1 claim for the kid as the hospital authorities have issued a disability certificate with 100℅ disability. He was holding insurance from an Insurance Company. He had a comprehensive insurance policy (Orange Card) which covered both Oman and Qatar. It's been more than one and a half year now as we were busy with the kid's treatment. Can we please discuss the same further? I can be reached on the below numbers.

The United Arab Emirates is a Sharia-Law country with respect to personal status and inheritance. In accordance with the UAE legislation, the UAE Courts will adhere to Sharia Law in a situation where there is no proper Will in place.

Do you have assets in the UAE? Have you made a will yet? It is highly recommended to register a will soon, otherwise, the drive to asset disbursement can be extensive and expensive. In addition to the option of registering a will in DIFC for Non-Muslim will registration, Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) had also introduced a separate office since August 2017, which has made the entire will registration process easier and cost-effective.

UAE Personal Status Law (also known as Personal Affairs Law) governs marriage, divorce, inheritance and other personal affairs in the United Arab Emirates. The law equally applies to citizens of the UAE and non-citizens unless one of them asks for the application of his home country law.
