I have a will in my home country. Do I need a separate one for my Dubai property?
I bought an apartment in Dubai a few years ago, but most of my other assets are in my home country. I already have a will prepared there, and it names the people I want to inherit my estate.
Someone recently told me that having a foreign will doesn't necessarily mean everything will be dealt with easily in the UAE. Now I'm unsure whether I need another document or whether my existing will can be recognised here. I also don't want to accidentally create two wills that contradict each other. That seems like it could cause more problems than having only one.
Has anyone with property in the UAE and assets overseas dealt with this? Did you have your existing will reviewed, register a UAE specific will, or take another route? I'd appreciate suggestions on what to ask a qualified UAE inheritance lawyer before making any changes.
