UAE Wills with Letters of Consent
For Muslim residents who wish to distribute their assets differently or make specific arrangements outside the standard Shariah framework, they can obtain a Letter of Consent

- Granting specific assets to a particular family member or charity
- Ensuring financial security for a spouse or dependents
