02 — THE ROUTE

Nobody shows you this part.

A drafted document is a Word file. It becomes a legal instrument only after notarisation or registration — and if you are abroad, after a chain of steps most providers never explain. Here is the whole route, before you pay for any of it.

  1. 01You5 min

    Your instructions

    Your country, your document, what it needs to do. Ninety seconds. We tell you which route applies and the total price.

  2. 02UsSame day

    Drafted, Arabic + English

    Your document is prepared bilingually, worded for the authority that will receive it — DIFC, ADJD, Dubai Courts or the notary.

  3. 03Us1 day

    Legal review

    A qualified legal professional reviews the draft against your instructions and the receiving authority’s requirements before anything reaches you.

  4. 04YouYour pace

    You approve

    You read the actual document, comment, request changes — and approve only when you are satisfied. Nothing is final before this.

  5. 05Us1–2 days

    Notarisation / Will registration

    We coordinate the e-notary video call, the DIFC or ADJD registration, or the Dubai Courts appointment — and show you where your case stands.

  6. 06UsOnly if abroad

    Embassy + MOFAIC

    For documents signed overseas: home-country notary, home foreign ministry, UAE Embassy, then MOFAIC in the Emirates. We track every stamp.

  7. 07UsKept

    Into your Deedbox

    The finished document lands in your vault — every version, every approval, every expiry reminder. And the people you name can reach it when it matters.

Wills are also registered with the DIFC, ADJD or Dubai Courts route that fits you — we confirm which before you pay.

One number. The number you actually pay.

04 — THE VAULT

Everyone else hands you a document and disappears.

A deed box is the locked box a solicitor keeps your title deeds, will and powers of attorney in. That is the idea, rebuilt properly: not a file emailed once and lost, but an account you can open in three years and find everything exactly where you left it.

And if something happens to you, the people you name get access — with verification, not a password. This is a Wills vault.

Open your Deedbox
  • Every version of every document, never overwritten
  • Who approved what, and precisely when
  • Arabic and English copies side by side
  • Invoices and receipts, downloadable any time
  • Reminders before a document expires or needs renewing
  • Secure sharing when a bank, court or buyer asks for it
  • Amendments, replacements and revocations tracked in one place
  • Verified access for the people you name

What happens in the UAE if you die without a Will?

  1. 01Default inheritance rules apply to your UAE assets.
  2. 02Bank accounts can be frozen until a court decides.
  3. 03Guardianship of your children may not follow your wishes.

A registered Will puts your wishes in charge.

Questions

The things people actually ask.

Short answers first. If something is not clear, ask us before you pay rather than after.

Which UAE Will is right for me — DIFC, ADJD or Dubai Courts?

It depends on your situation. The DIFC Courts Wills Service registers English-language Wills for non-Muslims and offers video registration — often the simplest route if you live abroad. The ADJD Will is also for non-Muslims, bilingual, with a video route. A Dubai Courts Will is a bilingual notarial Will, usually the most economical, with e-notary video available in the UAE. We confirm which route fits your assets, your family and where you live before you pay anything.

Can I register a Will if I am not in the UAE?

Yes. The DIFC Courts Wills Service and the ADJD both offer video registration, so the whole route can be completed from abroad — and non-residents can register a UAE Will covering their UAE assets. A Dubai Courts Will is notarised in person or, where available, by e-notary video. We confirm the route that applies to you before you pay.

Can I make a UAE Power of Attorney if I am not in the UAE?

Yes. Both UAE residents and non-residents can issue a Power of Attorney for use in the UAE. Depending on your country and the receiving authority, either remote notarisation by video call with a UAE notary applies, or an embassy legalisation route. We confirm which route applies to your specific case before you pay anything.

Does a drafted document mean it has been notarised?

No. Drafting and notarisation are separate steps. A drafted document becomes a legal instrument only once it has been notarised or registered by the relevant authority, and for some overseas cases only after further legalisation. We prepare and coordinate; we do not notarise, register or issue documents ourselves.

Does the document have to be in Arabic?

Yes. UAE authorities do not accept English-only Powers of Attorney. Every document we prepare is bilingual Arabic and English at no extra charge — several providers charge separately for this. Note that a POA notarised electronically is issued by the authority in Arabic only.

How much does a Will or Power of Attorney cost in Dubai?

With us, a Dubai Courts or ADJD Will is AED 1,499 and a DIFC Will is AED 2,499. A Vehicle POA is AED 790, a General POA AED 990, a Property POA AED 1,290 and a Litigation POA AED 1,590. Each figure is the total payable and includes bilingual drafting, the government fee, VAT and card payment. Government fees scale with document value; where that applies we confirm the exact figure before you pay, never after.

Can a Power of Attorney be revoked?

Yes. The process depends on the document type and where it is registered — a property POA generally requires the Dubai Land Department to be notified as well. Revocation is a formal process with the relevant authority, not something completed by pressing cancel in an app. We handle revocations and will tell you what the authority requires.

Are you a law firm?

No. We are a legal-document service. Documents are prepared by our team and reviewed by qualified legal professionals before they reach you. Where a matter needs legal representation or advice on your position rather than a document, we will say so plainly and point you in the right direction rather than take work we should not.

The Deedbox is a legal-document service. It is not a notary office and not a law firm. We prepare documents and coordinate notarisation, registration, attestation and legalisation through the appropriate licensed parties and authorities. Will registration is performed by the relevant authority — the DIFC Courts Wills Service, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, Dubai Courts or the Notary Public; we prepare and coordinate, we do not register. Preparing or paying for a document does not mean it has been notarised, registered or accepted by any authority — those are separate steps, and we show you exactly where your case stands at each one. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
