    About DIFC Courts Wills Service Centre

    What are DIFC Wills?

    DIFC Wills are registered with the DIFC Courts Wills Service Centre established as part of DIFC Courts in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. These Wills are prepared in accordance with the Wills and Probate Registry Rules implemented by the DIFC Courts. The Rules are designed as per the principles of English Law which provide the testators complete freedom in choosing their beneficiaries and other aspects of their estate planning after death. This makes it easy for the non-Muslims to opt out of the application of Sharia Law which would otherwise apply in the absence of a duly registered Will in the UAE.
