The required documents and procedure to transfer late father's property

Hi,

My father, who is an Egyptian Moslem and never was a resident of the UAE, has 4 properties in unfinished developments in Dubai who he was paying instalments on.

We (the heirs - myself, my two sisters, and my mother) would like to transfer the properties in our names so we can continue to pay the instalments.

I understand we need to file a case at the Personal Status Court to obtain a court order and give it to the Dubai Land Department to update their records based on the Dubai Court Order.

I have the following documents:

- Father's death certificate attested by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and UAE embassy in Cairo.
- Inheritance certificate stating that we are the legal heirs attested from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and UAE consulate.
- General PoA from my sisters and mom to myself attested from Egyptian Foreign Ministry and UAE consulate.
- Passport copies of all of us including my dad.
- Contracts for properties from developer.

Do I need anything else?

Dear Sir,

Thank you so much for writing to me.

The inheritance certificate issued by the Egyptian courts can be enforced in Dubai Court in most cases.

Please feel free to contact me on my phone.

Regards,
