Updating or Amending Your Will in the UAE

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.
