We assist clients in creating comprehensive estate plans that address complex issues such as cross-border wealth transfer, asset protection, and the legal challenges posed by multi-jurisdictional estates and international family structures.

Our expertise extends to drafting wills, probate, and trust documents, while also providing strategic advice on estate tax minimization.

Our attorneys possess in-depth knowledge of estate planning laws and regulations, providing assistance in selecting the preferred jurisdiction based on your preferences, offering will drafting services in the UAE, through the DIFC Courts, the Dubai Public Notary will, ADGM and ADJD wills. We also facilitate the registration of these wills to ensure legal recognition and enforceability for our clients' succession plans. This ensures robust asset protection and seamless succession planning.

Mazen Rasamny, Managing Partner, is officially registered as a will draftsperson within the DIFC Courts Wills Service, providing clients with expert guidance on succession and estate planning matters.

Foundations

Our firm also specializes in the establishment of foundations within key UAE jurisdictions, including DIFC, ADGM, and RAK ICC. We offer personalized guidance, based on your strategic goals and operational needs, on key matters specific to each foundation jurisdiction in the UAE.

Our expert team provides comprehensive support at every stage of the foundation establishment process. This includes advising on the selection of founders, council members, and, where required, the appointment of guardians. We ensure compliance with all legal requirements and manage the submission of registration documents and compliance forms to the relevant authorities.

We also draft the constitutional documents of the foundation, including the bylaws and the charter, ensuring that the foundation's governance structure aligns with both legal requirements and the founder’s objectives.

Furthermore, our expertise extends beyond the UAE, with a deep understanding of the differences between foundation jurisdictions internationally, including Guernsey, Jersey, Liechtenstein, Panama, and Wyoming. This global insight enables us to advise on the most suitable jurisdiction for your foundation, whether locally or abroad, based on your specific needs and goals.
