The Dubai Courts have recently created a specialized department to handle inheritance cases for non-Muslim residents in the emirate. The department, which is the first of its kind in the UAE, aims to provide a clear and transparent framework for non-Muslims to manage their estates and ensure that their wishes are respected after their death.
The department will be responsible for all aspects of non-Muslim inheritance matters, including the opening of inheritance files, the registration of wills, and the distribution of assets. It will also provide guidance and support to non-Muslims who are dealing with inheritance issues.
How the Department Works?
The non-Muslim inheritance department will operate on a single-session basis, meaning that it aims to reach a decision on all requests within one session. This is designed to speed up the process and make it more efficient for non-Muslims who are dealing with inheritance issues.
To open an inheritance file, applicants will need to provide a set of documents, including:
A legal notice, inventory of inheritance, legal document, or official document specifying the heirs and their shares.
To prove the existence of a will, individuals can present an official document issued by the Dubai Courts or any other court within the UAE, except for the Dubai International Financial Centre courts.
A judicial ruling proving the death of the deceased and identifying the heirs if no will is available.
If a request to open an inheritance file is based on a will not issue by the courts within the UAE, the implementation of Article 18 of Law No. 15 of 2017, which pertains to the management of non-Muslim inheritance matters and the execution of their wills, will be applied in Dubai. This means that a lawsuit for the execution of the will be registered, along with a certified copy of the applicable law for the will.
Benefits of the New Department
The establishment of the non-Muslim inheritance department offers several benefits for non-Muslim residents of Dubai, including:
A clear and transparent framework for managing estates.
Guidance and support from experienced professionals
The opportunity to have their wishes respected after their death.
The department is also expected to boost confidence among non-Muslim investors in Dubai, as it provides greater certainty and clarity around the legal process for non-Muslim inheritance matters.
Conclusion
The establishment of the non-Muslim inheritance department is a significant step forward for the UAE in terms of its commitment to providing a fair and equitable legal system for all residents. It is also a reflection of the emirate’s growing diversity, as the number of non-Muslim residents in Dubai continues to increase.
