Articles 11 and 12 of Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2022, on Civil Personal Status, govern inheritance for non-Muslims.
Article 11(2): If a non-Muslim dies intestate, then his assets will be divided according to the following rules:
1. Half of the inheritance will go to the spouse, and the other half will be divided between children equally.
2. In case of no children: Half of the inheritance will go to the spouse, and the other half will be divided equally between parents of the deceased,
3. In case of only one parent: Half of the inheritance will go to the spouse, and the other half will be divided into two parts, of which:
A. One part will go to the parent who is alive
B. Other part will be divided between the brothers of the deceased equally.
4. In case of only one parent: All of the inheritance will go to the parent who is alive, if the other parent is dead, and there is no spouse, no children, and no brothers of the deceased.
5. In case of no parents: All of the inheritance will be divided between the brothers of the deceased equally.
A person can bequeath all the assets located within the UAE to a person designated by him, as per Article 11(1). Also, under Article 11(3) of the Civil Personal Status and Article 17(1) of the Civil Transactions Law, an heir of a foreign person can request the application of the law of their home country for devolution of assets, unless the same is contradicted by a registered will. The Civil Transactions Law also states that if a foreign person has no heir, his assets in the country will be held by the government.
The procedure for inheritance is to be determined by a Cabinet decision, as mentioned under Article 12 of the law.
