Your life changes—and your Will should change with it.

As a general rule, it’s smart to review your Will every 5 years. If you like to stay especially organized, a 3-year check-in works even better. Most UAE Wills already include backup beneficiaries, executors, and guardians, but a periodic review ensures everything still reflects your real-world situation.

  • Marriage or divorce



  • The birth (or adoption) of a child



  • Major changes in assets or financial circumstances



  • A change in your preferred executors or guardians



A quick update today can prevent major complications later. Reviewing your Will regularly keeps your estate plan accurate, protective, and fully aligned with your wishes—so your loved ones are taken care of exactly as you intend.
