UAE Asset Protection & Succession

Asset protection and succession planning are critical components of long-term financial security, especially in a cross-border environment like the UAE. At Onecentive, we provide comprehensive legal and strategic advisory to help individuals, families, and business owners protect their personal and business wealth, reduce inheritance disputes, and ensure seamless asset transfer across generations.

Whether you are an expat, an entrepreneur, or a high-net-worth individual with global holdings, our estate planning services are designed to address the legal complexities of multi-jurisdictional ownership, Shariah succession rules, and UAE inheritance law. We work in coordination with registered DIFC Will Service providers, UAE courts, and offshore jurisdictions to build robust, enforceable structures tailored to your needs.

Our Services Include

We help clients create legally valid wills registered in the DIFC Wills Service Centre, Abu Dhabi Courts, or Dubai Courts, ensuring asset distribution follows your intentions and not default Shariah rules. We also advise on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, particularly important for international couples or those with complex family structures. Where appropriate, we guide clients on offshore or onshore trust structures to isolate and protect long-term family wealth.
For entrepreneurs and company shareholders, we design business succession plans that define what happens to shares, control, and voting rights in the event of death, incapacity, or divorce. This often includes corporate wills, shareholders’ agreements, and power of attorney arrangements, ensuring smooth transition of control and protection of business value.
Clients with real estate, investments, or businesses across multiple jurisdictions benefit from our ability to design holding structures that reduce probate complications, lower estate taxes, and safeguard ownership. We work with offshore foundations, family offices, and dual country will planning to create clarity across borders, especially between UAE, Europe, and Commonwealth jurisdictions.

We recognize that no two families or portfolios are the same. That is why our team works closely with you to map out your objectives, assess risk exposure, and develop a strategy that respects your personal and cultural values, while complying with UAE and international laws.

Whether you are starting your family, growing a business, or preparing for retirement, Onecentive is your long-term partner in protecting what you have built and ensuring it reaches the people you love.
