Many of our clients have assets in more than one country and this affects their Will, estate and tax planning. We can advise on these issues and have expertise in offshore advice. We provide a range of services to help you organise, manage and safeguard your own and your family's assets and interests.

Wills

A Will made in your country of nationality, particularly if you are no longer domiciled there or have assets in more than one jurisdiction, may not be valid to dispose of all or part of your Estate. We prepare UAE compliant Wills and this is essential for anyone owning property or assets in Dubai. We can also advise on domicile and residency issues and how these impact on your tax position.

Trusts

Trusts can be used for tax planning, protecting business interests or private assets or to provide for children or grandchildren. Setting up a Trust requires expert assistance and we have the expertise to advise you on the most appropriate set up for your needs.

Tax planning

We can advise on tax and other issues arising on moving to Dubai and investing or running a business here. We advise on the most tax efficient ways to dispose of or hold assets. We advise on the best ways to limit liability for inheritance, capital and income taxes. We also have expertise in advising on the best way to exploit existing and new offshore connections to shelter assets from tax where possible.

Probate

When someone has died we can offer advice at all levels to personal representatives. We can guide you in the steps to be taken or we can take responsibility for administering the whole estate.
Trust and Probate Disputes

Occasionally there are disputes between trustees and beneficiaries about the management of trusts or administration of an estate. We have longstanding experience in helping resolve disputes
