Updating or Amending Your Will in the UAE
Episode 1804
Published 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Life circumstances change, and your Will may need to be updated. How you do this depends on where the Will is registered:
DIFC Will
- Can be amended at any time for a small fee of AED 575 per amendment.
- Allows flexibility to adjust assets, beneficiaries, or other clauses without revoking the entire Will.
Mainland Courts (ADJD & Dubai Courts)
- Direct amendments are not allowed.
- To update, you must revoke the existing Will and register a new Will.
- It is recommended to include a clause in the new Will stating that all previous Wills are revoked for clarity.
Summary: DIFC offers more convenience and flexibility, while mainland courts require full re-registration for any updates.
