A registered Will is the cornerstone of estate planning for non-Muslims in the UAE. Without one, your assets may fall under Sharia distribution, joint bank accounts can be frozen and guardianship of your children may be decided by the courts.

​

We help you:

• Register Wills in DIFC and ADJD.

• Ensure your children’s guardianship is legally secured.

• Appoint executors you trust to carry out your wishes.

• Streamline probate with efficient registration processes.

​

With the right Will in place, your family is protected and your wishes are respected.

For families with significant assets or cross-border wealth, trusts and foundations provide long-term protection and flexibility. These structures allow you to safeguard family businesses, reduce inheritance tax exposure and preserve wealth across generations.

​

We design tailored trust and foundation solutions that:

• Protect assets from disruption during succession.

• Minimise inheritance tax in your home country.

• Support family governance and wealth transfer.

• Align with modern UAE trust laws in DIFC and ADJD

A Power of Attorney ensures that trusted individuals can act on your behalf if you are unable to do so. Without it, even routine financial or medical decisions may be delayed by court approval.

​

Our team can help you:

• Appoint financial or medical decision-makers.

• Prepare documents compliant with UAE regulations.

• Avoid costly delays in emergencies.

The right policy ensures your family can maintain their lifestyle, cover debts or education costs and manage unexpected financial challenges if the worst should happen. For expatriates in the UAE, life insurance also integrates with estate planning, helping avoid complications from frozen accounts or cross-border inheritance rules. At Smart Planning Consultants, we help you choose and structure life insurance solutions that provide long-term protection and peace of mind.
