Family Trust Setup in UAE
Establish a UAE family trust or private wealth structure for multi-generational asset protection, succession planning, and estate management. DIFC and ADGM foundations available.
Advantages
DIFC Wills & Trusts
Register a legally binding DIFC Will or Trust to ensure your UAE assets pass to your intended beneficiaries under common law — not Sharia succession rules.
ADGM Foundations
Establish an Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) foundation — a non-profit or purpose-driven entity ideal for family wealth preservation and philanthropic goals.
Asset Protection
Ring-fence your personal and business assets from future creditors, lawsuits, and commercial risks using a properly structured trust.
Succession Planning
Ensure a smooth, probate-free transfer of assets to heirs according to your wishes — avoiding costly and time-consuming court proceedings.
Multi-Jurisdictional Structures
Combine UAE foundations with offshore trusts (BVI, Cayman, Jersey) for maximum global wealth planning flexibility.
Confidentiality
UAE foundations and trusts offer significant confidentiality — beneficiary details are not publicly registered in most cases.
Process
A streamlined approach designed to save you time and hassle.
Wealth Assessment
Map your global assets — UAE property, business shares, bank accounts, and overseas holdings — to determine the right structure.
Structure Design
Design the optimal trust or foundation structure considering your jurisdiction preferences, beneficiaries, and succession goals.
Legal Documentation
Draft the trust deed or foundation charter, letter of wishes, and any associated memoranda with our legal partners.
Registration
Register the structure with DIFC, ADGM, or the relevant offshore jurisdiction and transfer assets into the structure.
Ongoing Administration
Provide annual administration, financial reporting, and governance support to keep the structure compliant and effective.
