Family Law & Wills in Fujairah
Family matters in Fujairah are handled by the Fujairah Federal Courts. The federal Civil Personal Status Law for non-Muslims lets non-Muslims have civil rules apply to marriage, divorce, custody and inheritance through the Federal Courts, though Fujairah has no dedicated civil family court like Abu Dhabi's. For those to whom it applies, the Personal Status framework governs.
We advise on jurisdiction, financial and custody arrangements, and on wills and succession planning for the emirate's residents and property owners, including registering wills so that assets in the UAE pass as intended.
