Q: 1. Can a non-resident person give a personal guarantee for bank debt in the UAE? 2. Is a son liable for a debt of his father?  

Q: Dear all, please may you tell me can I visit UAE if my husband has police or civil case in UAE? He has an unpaid loan in UAE.

Q: How to know what happens when an owner of a limited liability company passes away, and how would the company be liquidated?

Q: My father and his partner own a technical services LLC company and they went into losses. I used to help them out to get some contract on their name to grow the business. I am having my visa of real estate manager, but now my father and his partners are in the home country and somehow people have started calling me for some payoffs and recovery. What can be the way out as legally I have no rights in the company?

Q: To whom this may concern, I returned back to Australia after 10 years in Abu Dhabi in 2015. As I turn 18 this year in November, I plan on visiting friends who are in the UAE for about a month. I would like to travel with them around the country freely without any prosecution from local officials. My father had to leave the UAE in 2016 for health reasons and has unpaid debts in the UAE, Abu Dhabi specifically. I would like to know and have it in writing if I would be able to travel freely to the UAE at the end of the year and that I am not liable for my parents' debts/problems as I have no legal responsibilities for their actions. Kind regards.

An interview-format article covering the topic of shareholder disputes in the UAE and pre-emptive measure to be considered. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

The provisions of this law, promulgating UAE Civil Code, govern the civil transactions in the United Arab Emirates. The commercial transactions remain subject to the laws and regulations applicable in their regard.

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.

The provisions of this Law apply to the commercial companies established in the UAE and the foreign companies that have established in the UAE a base to conduct any activity therein or established a branch or representative office. The Law abrogates Federal Law No. (8) of 1984 Concerning Commercial Companies.
