About SmartWills

A specialist team for one document that matters

SmartWills is a UAE-based corporate service provider. We are not a law firm. We are the team that makes the whole process happen: we guide your decisions and coordinate the specialists who draft, translate and register your will.

How the work gets done

Three parties, one point of contact

The coordinator

SmartWills

We guide your decisions, prepare your documents, coordinate every party and follow up with the government until your will is registered. Your single point of contact, from first call to the 6-month review.

The drafting

Partner law firm

Every will is drafted and reviewed by our partner law firm. The professional leading the drafting has more than 10 years of legal experience in the UAE.

The certified translation

Partner translation office

The certified Arabic translation comes from our partner office, registered with the UAE Ministry of Justice, then double-checked against the details courts reject most often.

10+

The professional leading the drafting is a DIFC registered draftsman with 10+ years of legal experience in the UAE. Out of the thousands of lawyers in the country, only a few dozen hold this specialist qualification. Combined with 500+ expats guided through the process, your will is in specialist hands.

How we work

Four rules we never break

1

Plain language, always

If a sentence needs a law degree, we rewrite it. You should understand every document you sign. That is the whole point.

2

Transparent structure

Government fees are public and paid directly to the registry. Our service fee is fixed and explained on the first call, before you commit to anything.

3

Respect for institutions

Registries and courts do their job well. Our work is to prepare everything properly so the process flows the way it is designed to.

4

Education first

We would rather you understand the topic and choose freely, even if that means a DIY template, than sign up confused.

Most expats live here for a decade without ever sorting this out. Thirty minutes, zero pressure, and you finally know exactly what your situation needs.

Our guarantee: Any time before we submit your will to the government, if you are not happy for any reason, you get a full refund. And if the court later rejects the application, we fix it and resubmit at our own expense.
