Does a DIFC Full Will automatically transfer foreign assets?
DIFC Courts allows foreign assets to be included in a Full Will, but its official FAQ states that execution abroad depends on the laws and rules where those assets are located. Identify every asset jurisdiction and any separate probate requirement. This describes a DIFC-registered will; it does not establish recognition of every foreign will in the UAE. Identify the will's country, the deceased's relevant connections, asset locations and any existing probate decision. Recognition of a foreign document and authority to transfer local assets are separate questions. Preserve originals and official copies before arranging translation or authentication.
