Muslim wills follow Sharia inheritance law under Federal Law No. 28 of 2005. You can bequeath a maximum one-third of your estate to non-heirs without consent. The remaining two-thirds distribute automatically among family members according to Islamic inheritance rules.
Non-Muslim expats can opt out of Sharia law through registered wills under Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2022. You choose beneficiaries freely, apply your home country's laws, and control asset distribution. Registration with DIFC, ADJD, or Dubai Courts provides legal protection.
