What To Do After Death?

In the UAE, a structured process ensures that asset distribution after death adheres to the law, whether a will is present or not. Here are the steps heirs should follow:
The first step is to obtain a death certificate from the UAE authorities. This document is essential for initiating any legal processes, such as property name transfer after death or transferring ownership of the deceased's property.
If the deceased had a will, the process for distributing inheritance to beneficiaries will follow the stated wishes, provided the will complies with UAE laws. If no will exists, the distribution of estate without will or distribution on intestacy applies, often guided by Islamic sharia property distribution for Muslims.
Heirs must approach the Dubai court inheritance system or relevant UAE courts to open an inheritance court case. This step formalizes the distribution of deceased estate without a will or according to the will, if available.
Legaly inheritance lawyers will assist in listing and valuing all assets, including properties, bonds, and other belongings. They handle cases involving distribution of bonds inherited through a trust and property title transfer after death.
  • For Muslims, assets are divided as per Faraid distribution, which dictates the property distribution in Islam for daughter, son, wife, and other heirs.
  • Non-Muslims may follow their home country’s inheritance laws.
  • In the absence of a will, the no will property distribution process ensures assets are divided equitably among beneficiaries.
  • To finalize ownership changes, heirs must:

  • Submit applications for transfer of ownership after death or transfer title of house after death.

  • Address questions such as can heir property be sold or how to sell heir property, which may involve court approvals, particularly for minors’ property.

Legaly inheritance lawyers mediate disputes over inheritance property distribution in Islam or disagreements about estate beneficiary distribution. Resolving issues early can prevent inheritance fraud cases or prolonged legal battles.

Heirs are advised to explore business cases for succession planning and prepare for their own estates to avoid complications for future generations. Case studies on pre-inheritance distribution highlight the benefits of proactive planning.
