Why Professional Will Drafting Matters

Why Professional Will Drafting Matters | What Is Included

Preparing a will is an important part of succession planning, but having a document in place is not always enough on its own. A will needs to clearly express a person’s intentions and be prepared with care, in line with the laws that apply to their circumstances.

There is no single estate-planning solution suited to everyone. Individual circumstances may involve UAE property, overseas assets, business interests, multiple beneficiaries, or international family connections. Professional drafting begins with understanding these circumstances, and the legal and registration frameworks that apply, before determining how a will should be structured.

Our Services

Legacy planning is more than just transfer of assets. It’s the preservation of values, relationships and vision across generations.

What Is Included in a Will Writing Service?

A professional will writing service goes beyond typing a document. It typically begins with a conversation covering:
  • Nationality and residence
  • Family circumstances and marital status
  • Children and dependents
  • Property, financial assets, and business interests
  • Assets held outside the UAE
  • Intended beneficiaries
At Ma’an, this process is designed to understand each client’s circumstances and guide them through the choices ahead, whether preparing a first will, updating an existing one, or planning around property, family wealth, or business considerations.

Information Needed to Prepare Your Will

Having key information ready in advance helps the process run smoothly:

  • Personal and family details: full name, nationality, residence, marital status, and information about a spouse, children, and dependents. Where minor children are involved, guardianship preferences are also worth discussing.
  • Assets: UAE property, bank accounts, investments, business interests, and any assets held outside the UAE. International assets or overseas beneficiaries may introduce additional cross-border considerations.
  • Wishes and beneficiaries: a clear sense of who should benefit and what the will is intended to achieve.
  • Existing documents: any prior will or estate-planning documents, particularly those prepared in another country.

Will Drafting Process

  1. Initial consultation. A discussion of circumstances and objectives, including family, assets, and any interests outside the UAE.
  2. Understanding assets and beneficiaries. Identifying what should be considered as part of the plan.
  3. Discussing wishes. Including any arrangements concerning minor children.
  4. Drafting the will. Prepared to reflect individual wishes within the applicable legal framework.
  5. Reviewing the draft. Clarifying questions and making any changes needed.
  6. Finalisation and registration. Signing, witnessing, and registration completed according to the applicable process.
  7. Regular review. Revisited after significant life changes such as marriage, divorce, a new child, or a change in assets or business.
