Inheritance Law

At Saeed Ali Al-Tahir Law Firm, we offer specialized inheritance law services, tailored to meet the unique needs of both UAE nationals and expatriates. Our team provides comprehensive guidance on UAE inheritance laws, which are governed by the Civil Transactions Code and the Personal Status Law, rooted in Shariah principles. We assist UAE nationals in understanding their rights and obligations under Shariah-based inheritance laws, and help non-Muslims navigate options to apply their home country’s laws.

Our services include estate claims, guidance on the distribution of assets under Shariah Law, and will drafting. For Muslims, we ensure adherence to the one-third rule for bequests in wills, with any additional allocations requiring consent. For non-Muslims, we offer tailored advice on managing their estates in alignment with their community laws or personal wills. Our goal is to provide clarity and security for our clients, ensuring that their wishes are respected and legally upheld.
