Your assets in the region pass strictly by your will — under common law, not by the default rule.

• You hold assets in the UAE region — property, shares, accounts — and distribution must follow your will, not the default.
• You are a non-Muslim or international family, and you want an instrument in a common-law jurisdiction, not the local rule of inheritance.
• You need the will and the foundation to be not a separate document, but part of a single family structure.

What the House does

The House works with the instruments of recognised common-law jurisdictions in the region — the DIFC Wills Service and the ADGM foundations regime — and ties them to the rest of the capital architecture. The document does not live on its own: it is drafted, registered and built into the overall structure so the will is carried out without colliding with the default rules.

• Drafting the DIFC will for the assets it must cover and for the composition of heirs.
• Establishing and registering an ADGM foundation as a holder of assets in the region.
• Registering the instruments in the relevant registry — so the will has force, rather than remaining an intention.
• Tying the will and the foundation to the holding and the family’s overall structure in other jurisdictions.
• A personal partner of the House as the single point of entry for the whole instrument and its upkeep.

What you get: a drafted DIFC will for the composition of assets and heirs · an established ADGM foundation as a holder of the region’s assets · registration of both instruments in the registry · a tie to the holding and the family’s overall structure (2 instruments, 1 mandate)

Why this way and not another

• Without a dedicated will, assets in the region may be distributed by the default rule of inheritance, not by your will.
• A will from another country is not always recognised in respect of assets lying in the region.
• A document drafted on its own is not tied to the family structure and leaves a gap at the seam of jurisdictions.
• Without a registered holder of assets in a foundation, the handover breaks into separate procedures for each asset.

What worries you — and the House’s answer

• “The assets will be distributed by the default rule, not by my will.” — A DIFC will and an ADGM foundation are common-law instruments, under which distribution follows your text.
• “My foreign will won’t be recognised for assets in the region.” — The instrument is drafted and registered in the regional jurisdiction itself, for its assets.
• “The document will end up cut off from the rest of the structure.” — The will and the foundation are tied to the holding and the family’s overall architecture in a single mandate.

Where this leads

The DIFC will is drafted and registered, the ADGM foundation is established and holds the region’s assets, and both are tied to the rest of the family structure. Distribution proceeds strictly by your will, in a recognised common-law jurisdiction, beyond the default rule of inheritance. The will has force, rather than remaining an intention.
