Can I receive money from my USA company on my UAE company account?
Q: I have registered a company in SHAMS. I am the sole owner. I have no UAE clients. I only work for a USA company as a supplier. It`s all online work. Can the USA company transfer payment to my personal account in Dubai? The bank has agreed to it. It`s a big amount, so I want to make sure I am not breaking any law. Questions & Answers

How can we access the bank account of a deceased person?
Q: My uncle died 2 weeks ago in one of the private hospitals here in Dubai. We have already completed everything regarding the repatriation of his body with the help of his employer and his remains are already sent back to our home country last week. He used to give me an access of his ATM card before and I tried to access it just few days ago and I found out that there is some amount of money left on his bank account. I am aware that he has some pending bank loan requests before he died, so I am afraid that amount might be the reason of such big amount. Being the only family member of my deceased uncle, what should I do in order to make sure that the amount is from his savings and not from his bank loans? In case the amount is proved to be his own savings, is there any chance for me to get the authorization to claim that amount from the bank to be used by his family? He has a wife with 3 kids back home. Thanks a lot in advance. Questions & Answers

Is it possible to get refund of purchased property from developer if there is no SPA?
Q: Hello! Last month I found an apartment that is still under construction with a great payment plan. I decided to buy it! There were several calls between me and the developer and we agreed that I transfer the booking fee. Note: When I sent the amount no SPA was signed and I haven’t even received a SPA. Nothing has been signed! Neither from me nor from them! The amount is about $18.500. My passport was invalid too and I needed to make a new one. So they could not register me at DLD also. Now, I have some problems with continuing the payments and want to cancel the payment plan and asked for a refund. They haven’t given me any answer yet and been telling me to wait for next week, wait for next Friday and so on. What can I do to receive a refund? Do I have a right to receive the full amount back as there is no signature made by me & no registration at DLD? Thanks Questions & Answers

Decreasing the amount of a loan after filing a civil case by the bank?
Q: Hi, I took a personal loan from a bank in 2018 for AED260000 then I left the country but continued to pay for a while. One month ago in Dec 2020, they have filed a civil case. If I hire a lawyer for my case to clear, would that help to solve the issue or should I try contacting the bank to negotiate? I am not sure if the bank will be willing to negotiate to close the outstanding as I was told by a friend, that banks have insurance on the debt that is lent and if there is a civil case they can claim insurance for the lost money rather than negotiating with the borrower, especially after a civil case is registered. Is that true? I want to clear my name at the earliest but I don`t have that much money (now it is AED 293000 with interest and late fee). In a civil case, what are the proceedings if I hire a lawyer? Does it help to get the amount of payment lowered via court? If so, how much lower can the court order to close the case and how long would it take? Thanks! Questions & Answers

How to prove the partnership of a property with the fiancé?
Q: Hi! Last year, my fiancé and I put money together to buy a property in Dubai. The mortgage and title deed are both in his name as we were unsure if we could co-own as an unmarried couple. As I have contributed about 30% to the downpayment of the property and continue to pay about 30% of the mortgage, how can I claim 30% ownership? Would my name need to be on the title deed?

رفض دعوى ضد مطور عقاري بسبب شرط التحكيم
س: السلام عليكم، لدي استفسار بشأن قضية مرفوعة لدى محاكم دبي على مطور عقاري. اشتريت الوحدة سنة ٢٠١٤ على أن يتم التسليم في يونيو ٢٠١٦. وحسب العقد، يحق تمديد ١٢ شهرًا إلى يونيو ٢٠١٧. وصلنا لسنة ٢٠٢١ ولم أستلم الوحدة غير أنه أخلّ بالعقد بتغيير الوحدة من فندقي إلى سكني وذات مساحة أقل. رفعت دعوى لدى محاكم دبي الابتدائية ورُفِضت الدعوى ولم أعلم السبب ورُفعت الدعوى للاستئناف وحُجزت للحكم. المحامي أبلغني أن قضيتي مضمونة بنسبة ١٠٠٪ وأنا متخوِّف جدًا من الحكم الذي سيصدر من الاستئناف. علمًا بأنه تم سداد ٩٠٪ من قيمة الوحدة ولدى المحامي الإيصالات وكذلك لديه من دائرة السياحة ما يوضح تحويل المشروع من فندقي لسكني ولم يعوضوني. هل يمكن أن يصدر الحكم ضدي؟ أصبحت أشك وأدعو الله العظيم أن يأخذ حقي منهم.
