Inheritance
Inheritance is the transfer of assets, rights, and obligations from a deceased person to their heirs. It can include property, money, and personal belongings. The process often involves legal procedures to ensure rightful distribution. Inheritance lawyers play a crucial role in guiding these legal complexities, ensuring that the deceased’s wishes are honoured and disputes are minimised. Inheritance law is closely linked with Family Law, which encompasses legal issues related to family relationships, such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, guardianship (child custody) and adoption. Inheritance issues are particularly important to consider in the governance and structuring of Family Businesses in the UAE.
