س: السلام عليكم
توفي وافد غير مسلم في بلده الأم ولديه أملاك في الإمارات.
هل يتم توزيع الإرث الموجود في الإمارات وفقاً لقانون بلده حيث يستحصل الورثة على حكم من المحكمة في بلدهم الأم ويطلبون تنفيذه في الإمارات؟
أم يجب استصدار حكم آخر في الإمارات فيما يتعلق بالأملاك الموجودة في الإمارات؟
شكراً

الإجراءات اللازمة لحصر وتقسيم التركة
س: السلام عليكم.
والدي رحمة الله عليه توفي منذ سنة ولديه مبلغ بسيط في أحد البنوك وسيارة مسجلة باسمه وحسابات تابعة لشركة اتصالات وليس لديه أي أملاك أخرى داخل الدولة. صدرت شهادة إعلام وراثة من المحكمة في أبوظبي.
ما الإجراءات الواجب اتبعاها للتمكُّن من التصرف بممتلكاته المذكورة لنقل ملكية السيارة وإغلاق الحساب البنكي وتحويل الحسابات التابعة لشركة اتصالات لأحد الورثة؟
علمًا بأنه تم التواصل مع قسم المساعدات القانونية في المحكمة وأشاروا بعمل طلب دعوى للتركات أو في حال لم يكن لديه أملاك نكتفي بإصدار رسالة مخاطبة للجهات المعنية.
أرجو الإفادة بالإجراء الواجب اتباعه وطرق التقديم!

Preparing a will for giving the entire inheritance to granddaughter
Q: I am a UAE citizen. My son passed away. I have no other children and I am divorced.
I only have one granddaughter who is American/Canadian. I also have 2 brothers and 2 sisters and a mother.
Under Islamic law, will she inherit me?
If not, can I put a will in place for her to get my entire inheritance whilst still abiding with Islamic law?
Thank you for your time!

Securing Your Assets in the UAE by Registering Your Will
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.

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds?
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?

Can my old employer sue me for a non-compete clause that's only in the offer letter?
Hi,
I was previously working in a company based in DMCC and have now moved to Hamriyah Free Zone. In my DMCC contract, there was no mention of a non-compete, but my offer letter includes one.
Now, in my new organization, if my old customers start to contact me for business, am I liable for any legal action from my previous employer?

Can I claim compensation for emotional distress and pregnancy loss?
Good afternoon,
A gentleman insulted me severely over the phone during a delicate moment in my life when I was pregnant. He conveyed harsh messages through chat, causing me to feel sick, panicked, and scared.
Unfortunately, I lost my baby after this incident. I have reported the matter to the police and won the case, leading to the confiscation of his phone and imposition of a fine.
However, I believe I deserve compensation for the mistreatment. Can I pursue damages, and if so, what amount can I claim for my loss and damage?

Can my company make my position redundant and hire somebody else after I was terminated?
My company terminated my employment because it was making the position I held redundant.
I was advised that in no way was this performance-related but purely a restructuring exercise.
However, within 1 month of leaving the company, they have externally recruited another person to fill my exact position, with the same job title, that they made redundant.
Whilst I believe that this is unethical behavior, could anyone tell me if this is legal within the UAE or should I lodge a complaint for unfair dismissal?

هل تُطبق عقوبة عند الاستقالة والانتقال إلى وظيفة أخرى إذا لم يمر على الإقامة 6 أشهر؟
السلام عليكم،
أعمل في شركة منذ سنة ونصف. في البداية حصلت على عرض عمل ولكن لم تصدر إقامه لوجود حظر على الشركة.
صدرت منذ 4 أشهر إقامة لي على شركة أخرى يملكها صاحب الشركة التي أعمل بها بسبب الحظر على الشركة التي أعمل بها، ولكن لم أحصل على شهادة عدم ممانعة (إعارة).
الآن أريد تقديم استقالتي والانتقال إلى وظيفة جديدة.
ما الإجراءات؟ وهل تُطبّق عقوبات ضدي لأنني لم أكمل 6 أشهر على الإقامة أو أي عقوبات أخرى؟
