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
from all legal heirs.
What Is a Letter of Consent?
A Letter of Consent is a legal document signed by all heirs, confirming their agreement to an alternative asset distribution plan. This can be useful for:
- Allocating a different share of inheritance than standard Shariah rules
- Granting specific assets to a particular family member or charity
- Ensuring financial security for a spouse or dependents
