Liability toward the unpaid debts of the father
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.
Dear Questioner,
Greetings.
Thanks for keeping in touch with me.
For the unpaid debts in the UAE, your father might have given security cheques before, and the criminal case which would have been filed will be only against the signatory of the cheque as he has committed the offence.
Regarding the civil case also, if your father is still alive, the case will be against him only and if he is not there, the case will be proceeded only if the deceased holds property in the UAE.
Please feel free to contact me on 0556635526 or WhatsApp me on 0508575526 if you need any further explanation or clarification.
