United Arab Bank has partnered with Just Wills to launch a new end-to-end will-writing and registration service, the first of its kind relationship in the UAE and the only service to offer wills designed in accordance with Shari’ah law.

The new end-to-end offering includes notarisation, which has been approved by the courts and registered with the Ruler’s Court of Dubai.

UAB will offer the service under Sadara Privileged Banking – part of the bank’s retail banking division – which offers premium banking and wealth management services to customers.

Just Wills is a Law Society-registered company, headquartered in Britain, which has extensive experience in producing both conventional and Islamic wills in accordance with the laws in the UAE and the Middle East. Its licence was issued specifically for will writing services, which includes succession planning – the first time any company in UAE has been issued such a licence. The company was also the first to receive a certificate from the Islamic Affairs Division to draft wills for Muslims.
