SMART PLANNING
CONSULTANTS
Who We Are
At Smart Planning Consultants, we specialise in helping non-Muslims and expatriates navigate the unique challenges of estate planning in the UAE.
With recent legal reforms, foreign residents now have more flexibility than ever before. But the rules can be complex and mistakes can cause costly delays, frozen bank accounts or even unintended heirs.
We bring clarity, expertise and a personalised approach—ensuring your estate plan works seamlessly both in the UAE and across borders.
Why Estate Planning Matters in the UAE
For non-Muslims, estate planning is essential. Without a registered Will or proper legal structure:
-
Your UAE assets may be distributed under Sharia law.
-
Bank accounts, including joint ones, can be frozen.
-
Guardianship of children may be left to court decisions.
-
International tax rules could reduce what your family inherits.
A well-structured estate plan gives you peace of mind knowing your loved ones are protected and your wishes will be respected.
