If something happened to you today, who would collect your children tonight?

Most parents think about who they would want to raise their children long term. But what about the hours and days immediately after an unexpected event?

This is why at Just Wills, we emphasize appointing both a temporary and permanent guardian in your Will.

Temporary Guardian
Someone locally available who can step in immediately and care for your children until longer-term arrangements can be made.

Permanent Guardian
The person you ultimately want to take responsibility for your children and care for them long term, even if they live overseas.

We developed this approach after seeing firsthand through probate and bereavement cases how important that immediate period can be for children when parents pass away unexpectedly.

Your Will is the legal document in which your guardianship wishes can be formally recorded, so don’t only think about who should raise your children.

Think about who gets there first.

3 things every employee in the UAE should know. 👇

Your employee benefits and visa arrangements can have a much bigger impact on your family than you may realize.

1. Your gratuity
Many employees don’t realize they’re entitled to end-of-service gratuity. If you pass away while employed, this may become payable, but your family also needs to know it exists and understand how to claim it.

2. Your beneficiary form
If your employer provides life insurance, have you completed your beneficiary nomination? Many employees overlook this simple but important step, which helps clarify who should receive the benefit.

3. Your visa
When a sponsor passes away, their visa is canceled, which can also affect the dependent visas linked to them. Understanding this in advance gives families the opportunity to plan ahead and consider alternative visa arrangements.

These are conversations employees shouldn’t only be having when something goes wrong.

Know your benefits. Complete your documents. Plan ahead.

📩 Contact Just Wills to understand your options and ensure you and your family are prepared.

A Will is important, but it doesn’t tell your family everything they may need to know.

Bank accounts, property, insurance policies, investments, business interests and key documents can all form part of an estate.

Before you pass away, your family should know what exists and where the important information can be found. If they don’t, they may later struggle to identify assets, contact the right institutions, prove ownership or begin the probate and estate administration process, leading to unnecessary delays.

That’s why good estate planning goes beyond simply preparing a Will. It’s about making sure the right information is organized, accessible and clear for the people who may one day need it.

Because planning your estate isn’t just about your wishes. It’s about making things easier for the people you leave behind.

Your Legacy, Our Priority.

The most important folder you’ll ever own… probably isn’t the one you’re thinking of.

It’s not the folder on your laptop.

It’s not the folder in your filing cabinet.

It’s your Legacy Folder.

A single place containing the information your loved ones may one day need, from your and legal documents to bank accounts, insurance policies, property details, key contacts, and more.

Without it, families are often left searching through paperwork, emails, and files during one of the most difficult times of their lives.

A Legacy Folder isn’t about expecting the worst.

It’s about making life easier for the people you love most.

At Just Wills, we’ve seen firsthand the difference it can make.

Because your isn’t just about what you leave behind. It’s about making sure your family knows where to find it.

A huge thank you to Savills Middle East for welcoming Uzayr to all three of your offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. It was fantastic to see such strong engagement and thoughtful discussions throughout each session.

We also had the opportunity to connect with the team at MCN | Middle East Communications Network, continuing important conversations around Wills and succession planning.

We’d also like to give a special shout-out to Tadi, whose efforts made both the Savills and MCN sessions possible. Your hard work behind the scenes is greatly appreciated.

To round off the week, we were delighted to deliver a session for Red Bull UAE, where we saw another fantastic turnout and plenty of insightful questions from attendees.

One of the most common questions we receive is, “Which court is right for me?”

The answer depends on your nationality, religion, residency status, where your assets are located, and your long-term objectives.

At Just Wills, we work with all three jurisdictions, and each offers different benefits:

✔️ Dubai Courts
• Suitable for non-Muslim expats
• Covers assets across the UAE
• Fully online registration process
• A well-established local option

✔️ Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD)
• Open to Muslim and non-Muslim expats
• The only court where Muslims can register a Will
• Can cover both UAE and global assets
• Fully online registration process
• A cost-effective solution

✔️ DIFC Courts
• Suitable for non-Muslim expats
• Fully online registration process
• Grant of probate is issued by the DIFC Courts
• Court orders to unlock assets are issued by Dubai Courts

Choosing the right jurisdiction is just as important as having a Will itself. Every family’s circumstances are different, which is why there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.

If you’re unsure which court is right for you, speak to one of our experts. We’ll help you choose the option that best protects your family, assets, and legacy.

June was a month of meaningful conversations.

Despite the summer season, our team had the privilege of delivering succession planning and employee wellbeing sessions to organizations across the UAE, both in person and online.

From Qatar Insurance, Evonik, The Giving Movement, and Ferrero Rocher Middle East to virtual sessions with Visa Middle East, the Emirates Athletics Association, and many more, it was inspiring to see so many organizations creating space for conversations around Wills, guardianship, estate planning, and protecting what matters most.

The level of engagement, thoughtful questions, and participation throughout each session reflects a growing awareness of the importance of legal preparedness as part of employee wellbeing.

A sincere thank you to every organization that welcomed us and to everyone who took part.

We look forward to continuing these conversations and supporting even more workplaces in the months ahead.
