Following up on a case without being in the UAE
Q: I am a converted Muslim. I have an inheritance judgment from Dubai family court, on my estranged non-muslim son, since 2013 and the monthly inheritance is being transferred to a bank account in Dubai by the court directly since then. I am residing in India due to old age and poor health. Can I follow up on my case without a residence visa for an enhanced inheritance?

Q: Hello everyone, Good day to all of you! My father recently passed away (may he RIP) in Canada, I just found out he has a bank account in Dubai and would like to understand the procedure to collect the funds and close the account. We are Muslims as I understood that this might change the procedures (?). I am looking to hire a lawyer to help out with the above.

I have the following already attested and certified by the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the UAE Embassy in Canada: 1) A will issued in Canada. 2) Death certificate. 3) Power of Attorney from my siblings.

Getting back to Dubai after leaving without proper visa cancellation
Q: Hi, I lived in Dubai for 17 years and met my British husband whilst being there and we married. 4 years later, he hit me and financially abused me so I fled to the UK with our 2 very young children. I was not working at that time but was on his visa as a spouse. My visa was not properly canceled and it expired18 months ago. I am not on good terms at all with my ex-husband. Am I safe to visit Dubai again? Or there will be a problem if I go there because of not canceling the visa officially and absconding with children? We have UK court orders for divorce and the children are court-ordered to live with me. Please advise!

Claiming refund and compensation from a developer
Q: I purchased an apartment in August 2007 which was due for handover on October 31, 2009. The purchase price was AED 1.42 million. The payment term was 50% in 7 instalments and 50% on project completion. I paid 50% as per the agreement, The developer informed me sometime in 2008 that the project was delayed due to force majeure as the substation in Business Bay was not complete. Now it is 2020 and the project is still not completed. The substation in Business Bay had been completed years ago. I would like to know if I am entitled to compensation for the delay or can I cancel the purchase in its entirety and get my money back along with interest? Please advise me on my options and what steps should I take forward.
