Frequently Asked Questions
We handle family law matters including divorce and custody, will drafting and estate planning, personal injury claims from accidents or negligence, property and tenancy disputes, debt recovery, and legal document preparation. Our practice focuses on individual and family legal needs rather than corporate matters.
Divorce procedures depend on your nationality and religion. UAE nationals and Muslims typically file through Dubai Personal Status Court, while non-Muslims may use Dubai Courts. Required documents include marriage certificate, Emirates ID, passport copies, and evidence supporting divorce grounds. The process typically takes 3-6 months depending on case complexity.
Yes, if you can prove negligence or liability leading to your injury. UAE law allows compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. You must file claims within specific time limits and provide medical evidence, witness statements, and documentation of financial losses.
A will must be written clearly, signed by the testator, and witnessed by two adults. For non-Muslims, registering with DIFC Wills and Probate Registry provides additional protection and ensures English law application. The will should specify beneficiaries, asset distribution, and executor appointments while complying with UAE legal requirements.
Most rental disputes go through Dubai Rental Disputes Centre, which offers mediation and adjudication services. Common issues include deposit refunds, rent increases, evictions, and maintenance obligations. Cases typically resolve within 2-4 months, with appeals possible to Dubai Courts if parties disagree with initial decisions.
Yes, many debt recovery cases resolve through formal demand letters and negotiation. However, court proceedings provide stronger enforcement options including asset seizure and travel bans. We typically attempt informal resolution first, then pursue legal action if debtors remain unresponsive to payment demands.
Powers of attorney authorize someone to act on your behalf for legal, financial, or personal matters. Common uses include property transactions, bank account management, business operations, and healthcare decisions. The document must be notarized by Dubai Courts or relevant authorities and can be general or limited to specific activities.
Timelines vary significantly by case type. Simple debt recovery or tenancy disputes may resolve in 2-4 months, while complex family law matters can take 6-12 months. Personal injury claims often require 8-18 months depending on medical treatment completion and settlement negotiations. Property disputes vary widely based on complexity and evidence requirements.
Professional legal assistance ensures your will is valid, comprehensive, and enforceable under UAE law. Poorly drafted wills can create family disputes and may not distribute assets as intended. We help navigate UAE inheritance law, Sharia law implications, and registration options to protect your family's interests effectively.
Yes, through properly executed wills or UAE inheritance law application. Non-Muslims can register wills with DIFC Wills and Probate Registry to ensure English law governs their UAE assets. Without valid wills, Sharia law may apply regardless of nationality, potentially affecting intended asset distribution to family members.
