We look forward to welcoming you to our offices for your will registration appointment on December **th at *am.
Prior to your appointment
Please complete the attached Information Form and return it to us info@difcprobate.ae
so that we can prepare your case file and ensure that there are no delays on the day of registration.
If your will has been drafted by a lawyer or you have taken advice from a lawyer but drafted it yourself, please provide us with the:
(a) name of the lawyer, and
(b) name of their employer.
This is vitally important as we can only accept wills for registration which have been drafted by the applicant him/herself or on their behalf by a lawyer who is registered with us (see http://www.difcprobate.ae/register-of-will-draftsmen/ ).
Please note that wills for registration must be compliant with the minimum standards as set out in Schedule 1 ‘Forms of Will 1 and 2’ of the DIFC WPR Rules. The Rules are available to download from our website (www.difcprobate.ae/rules/)
Please provide us with the names of those persons who will be accompanying you (eg your witness, attorney, any other party), so that we can pass on their names to the ground floor reception desk. The reception staff will provide you with temporary access cards, without you having to surrender your ID’s as these will be required at registration.
On the day of your appointment
Please bring the following:
公证的时候需要带的:
1. Passport and Emirates ID (if applicable)
护照和阿联酋ID(如果有ID)
2. Draft will (this must be unsigned)
遗嘱(一定不能签署,只能在公证处当面签)
3. Any documents you wish to annex to the Will
您想要附加在遗嘱里的任何文件 (其实什么文件都不带也可以,因为遗嘱里包含了现有和未来的资产)

见证人(至少21岁,不能是遗嘱里的受益人或者小孩监护人),见证人必须带上证件原件(护照或者阿联酋ID原件)
