The inheritance of a bank account
Hi!
I would like to know about the inheritance of a bank account. Who receives the money?
And can we make a will to ensure only the wife and children receive money as it is a movable asset or normal sharia law will apply?

Hello,
The inheritance will depend on the will of the person, as per the applicable law.
For Muslims, it will be Sharia Law, and for Non-Muslims, it will be as per the personal law in the UAE.
If you are making a will and want to have a special condition, then we have to check whether it complies with the Sharia LAw, because for the Muslims, Sharia law will apply.
