We help you understand Will options and succession-planning considerations relevant to your family, assets and personal circumstances.

LEGAL SUPPORT REIMAGINED FOR MODERN BUSINESSES
Mentorix Legal Consultancy provides practical wills and private client advisory in the UAE to individuals and families. We assist with succession planning, DIFC and ADGM Wills, guardianship arrangements and planning for the distribution of UAE-based assets.
A well-considered Will can help record your wishes and provide clarity for the people who may need to manage your estate. Mentorix helps you understand the available options, prepare the relevant information and take the appropriate steps based on your circumstances and the applicable registration requirements.
Explore the Will and succession-planning routes that may be available based on your circumstances and assets.
Consider how your assets should be dealt with and who you wish to appoint to carry out your instructions.
Consider guardianship arrangements and other practical matters that may be important for your family’s future.
Do your contracts, employment documents and governance arrangements reflect the legal framework that actually applies to your ADGM or DIFC business?
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.
