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
Making a Will is a sensible and necessary step regardless of where you live, and if correctly drafted, a Will can do many important things - appoint guardians for children, set up trusts, leave gifts to charities, minimise death taxes, and specify funeral wishes.
Many expatriates are unaware that a Will, even if prepared in Dubai, may be ineffective for the purposes of ensuring their Dubai real estate passes to their chosen beneficiaries. Not only is this a waste of time and money but worse still, it leaves a problem you thought you had addressed.
We have developed legal solutions to ensure that all assets, including real estate owned by Muslim and non-Muslim expatriates, pass to chosen beneficiaries and are not exposed to local inheritance laws.
Trusts
Trusts can be set up in order to protect and transfer assets for the benefit of minors, disabled beneficiaries or to retain valuable assets for future generations. Setting up a trust requires the consideration of your overall financial circumstances and we have the expertise to advise you on the most appropriate structure for your needs.
Probate
Losing a loved one is one of the most devastating events that can happen in life and dealing with the financial affairs can add to the heartache, especially in an unfamiliar country. We can offer advice and assistance to family members on all aspects of dealing with the estate of a deceased family member. From merely guiding you in the right direction, to taking over the handling of the entire estate, we approach these cases with sensitivity and expertise to ensure matters are finalized in the shortest possible time scale, with the least amount of complications to bereaved family members.
