UAE succession and a Dutch or Belgian will are not copies of each other. Anyone who treats “I already have a will at home” as sufficient leaves a desk undiscussed. Anyone who only sees a DIFC or Abu Dhabi will forgets home-country assets.
This page is explanation: why two tracks sit side by side, which questions you put to a notary or lawyer, and what we do not do. We do not draw a deed. If a specialist is in the network, we introduce. Without a specialist the information stays the information.
Religion, matrimonial property, minor children and the place of the assets drive which desk has authority. That is not a brochure line; it is the reason not to gamble on a forum answer.
Dubai rules do not automatically apply across the UAE. The Netherlands and Belgium stay beside them.
Choices
Which split to set first
Where the assets sit
UAE property, UAE company, bank, and what remains in the Netherlands or Belgium. Each piece can have a different track.
Whether you live in the UAE
Residence and non-residence change the practice, not always the need for a local will for local property.
Family
Partner, children, an earlier deed at home. Take existing papers to the specialist, not to this form.
Steps
A workable order
01
Inventory
What is in your name, in which emirate, in which country. No amounts needed for a first help request.
02
Existing deeds
Dutch or Belgian will, marriage contract. Those do not vanish on their own.
03
Pick the desk
A notary or lawyer who can place UAE and home country. We are not that desk.
04
Ask for help
Whether you already live there, whether you hold property or a company. No copies of deeds through the web form.
Costs
Which items to place side by side
Advice
Hourly or a fixed deed. Ask the scope: UAE only, or alignment with home as well.
Registration
Local registration of a will, if you choose that track, has its own levies.
Do not
No online template as a substitute for a competent deed.
FAQ
Questions on this topic
Is my Dutch will enough?
Not automatically for UAE property. Let a competent specialist place both tracks. We do not give that conclusion.
Do you draw a will?
No. Information and, if a partner exists, an introduction.
Should I send medical or family details?
No. First only whether you live there, and whether there are UAE assets.

Other steps on the same platform
Anyone who relocates often later needs a visa, rent, a move or a will. On every new introduction you choose whether you want help and with whom.
Commercial collaboration is labelled where it exists. Until then there is no partner list.
Help request
Help with wills
Residence, type of assets, home country. No deeds, no medical data, no full wealth statement.
If a fitting specialist exists and you ask for an introduction, we introduce. You know who receives your details. Without a partner or without that consent we do not forward.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this advice or execution?
No. The site informs. A help request is matching, not an engagement. Specialists execute filings, transactions and deeds. Reading only is not yet a request we forward.
Do I get a guaranteed return or visa?
No. No return, permit or tax promises. Unknown costs stay unknown, not zero. Dubai rules do not automatically apply across the rest of the UAE. Temporary stay is not tax residence.
Where are the partners and reviews?
Only after real data. Until then no roster and no testimonials. A topic without a partner stays readable; we say which help we do offer.
Which data should I send?
Name, email, topic and a short note. Separately: consent for contact, for an introduction, and optionally a newsletter. No passport, medical file or full wealth statement.
Do I know who receives my data?
Yes, on an introduction. Without consent for an introduction we do not forward. Commercial collaboration is labelled.
Is the library current?
Each file has a review date and, where needed, a source. Many pieces are a research starting point, not a tariff guarantee. We correct errors with a date.
