The same preparation fee applies whether you register with ADJD or DIFC. ADJD’s Regular Will is AED 950 and its Special Will AED 2,500. ADJD’s Mirror Wills fee is AED 1,900 for the two Wills registered together. DIFC’s Property, Guardianship, Business Owners and other Will types are priced separately.
Both authorities set and change their own fees. The UAE Will guide has the full schedule by Will type, modification fees and payment plans.

Who Is Online Wills Advisor For?
Built for people whose family or assets connect to the UAE and who want a Will registered with ADJD or DIFC.
YOUR SITUATION
Expats Living in the UAE
Register a Will for property, bank accounts and other assets held here. ADJD accepts non-citizens of any religion. DIFC accepts non-Muslims with UAE assets or minor children in Dubai or Ras Al Khaimah.
Non-Residents With UAE Assets
Neither ADJD nor DIFC requires UAE residency. You can prepare your Will from abroad, and DIFC also registers it by video call from anywhere.
Couples and Parents
Register Mirror Wills at one appointment, and name guardians for your minor children.
Business Owners
Record company shares and business interests alongside your personal assets. DIFC offers a Business Owners Will type for this.
What to Prepare Before You Start
Online Wills Advisor asks for each item when it becomes relevant and saves your progress, so you can begin without everything to hand.
Personal Identification
Passport, proof of address, and Emirates ID if you live in the UAE.
Family and Beneficiaries
Each beneficiary’s full name and relationship to you.
Executors and Guardians
Who administers your estate, and who cares for minor children.
Property and Other Assets

Supporting Documents
DIFC: title deeds, share certificates, signed Guardianship Statements. ADJD: proof of ownership, certified Arabic translations.
Two Witnesses for DIFC
