Question 1

Is a VasiWill Will legally valid in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Will is drafted by qualified legal professionals and is fully compliant with applicable UAE laws governing non-Muslim expatriates.

Question 2

Why do Expats in the UAE specifically need a Will?

Accepted Answer

Without a registered Will, UAE courts may apply Sharia principles to your assets by default. A Will ensures your estate is distributed according to your wishes.

Question 3

What does the 499 AED package include?

Accepted Answer

Drafting, legal review, bilingual documents, guardianship and executor clauses, unlimited beneficiaries, secure storage and unlimited consultations during the drafting process. Only the registration fee at the Abu Dhabi Family Court is not included — a 950 AED fee paid directly to the court via a dedicated link sent to the testator.

Question 4

How long does the whole process take?

Accepted Answer

Most clients complete their online questionnaire in 15 minutes. Our legal team returns the drafted Will within 24–48 hours. Registration with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department takes place right after the review, and the Will is usually registered within 3 working days. From that point, you only wait for the video call with the notary, which is scheduled a few weeks in advance.

Question 5

Is my data secure and confidential?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and accessible only to authorised legal staff.

Question 6

What if I need to update my Will later?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible. Updates are available at a nominal fee charged by the Abu Dhabi court. Whenever you need to update your Will, just contact us and we will guide you through the process.

Question 7

Do I have to come in person?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not necessary. The drafting is 100% online. Final signing follows the legal protocol required in the UAE and takes place during a video call with the public notary — we guide you through it step by step.
