Why Wills and Succession Planning Matter

Make Your Wishes Clear for the Future
Without suitable succession planning, families may face uncertainty about how an estate should be managed or distributed. The right approach can depend on your family circumstances, assets, residence, religion and the applicable jurisdiction or Will registry.

Mentorix helps you understand the available options and plan carefully for your UAE-based assets and family arrangements.

Plan for Your Family

Consider guardianship arrangements and other practical matters that may be important for your family’s future.

Does your legal framework actually match your ADGM or DIFC business?

Do your contracts, employment documents and governance arrangements reflect the legal framework that actually applies to your ADGM or DIFC business?

The Challenge

ADGM and DIFC are not ordinary UAE free zones. Each has its own civil and commercial laws, courts, registration authority and legal procedures. ADGM directly applies English common law, subject to its own enactments. DIFC operates through its own enacted common-law framework.

A document or decision that works for a UAE mainland business may not be suitable for an ADGM or DIFC entity. The correct approach depends on the entity, ownership structure, workforce, contracts, assets and chosen dispute forum.
