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.
