How We’ve Helped Families in the Same Situation
Every case is unique, but the challenges are often the same: frozen accounts, complex paperwork, or urgent repatriation. Here’s an example of how a family struggled without the correct planning and documents:
An Emirates employee passed away leaving behind a life insurance policy. The family believed the beneficiary form had been completed, but neither they nor HR could locate it. Without the proper documentation, it took nearly two years to release the funds — only to discover the form was incomplete and unsigned.
With Just Wills, these delays and oversights can be avoided. We ensure beneficiary forms and critical documents are correctly prepared, attested, and stored, so families can access what they are entitled to without years of unnecessary hardship.
The Death Folder – Avoid Delays and Confusion
When someone passes, missing or unorganised documents can delay probate for months or even years. The “Death Folder” ensures everything your family needs is in one place — wills, bank details, property deeds, insurance, attested certificates, and key contacts — making the process clear and manageable.
What's Included in the Death Folder:
Wills, powers of attorney, and legal documents
Bank details, property deeds, and insurance policies
Translated and attested certificates
Beneficiary forms and Letters of Wishes
Contact details of executors, trustees, and family members
Preparing a Death Folder is one of the most important steps you can take for your family — and we help you set it up, secure it in the right places, and use it when the time comes.

Vice President: GE Capital Markets, United Arab Emirates
I was referred to Just Wills (UAE) by the biggest personal financial advisory firm in the UAE and one of the most prominent regional banks in the UAE. I can now see why! Mohammed Marria is extremely conversant with Shariah law and the formalities involved in expediting a Will in the UAE. Just Wills’ service is second to none. As an expat, I now have peace of mind knowing my family’s future is safeguarded.
Business Development Manager at Motorworks Middle East
I would highly recommend Mohammad’s expert advice on Estate planning. All to often we over look this vital area especially those persons living in the U.A.E. It’s very important to have all these documents in place and up to date at all times and I can personally recommend Mohammad and his company for a complete professional package.
Founder / President, Imagine Group Of Companies
It was nice working with you and I appreciate your professionalism and straightforward attitude. I am very pleased with the outcome and will recommend you to as many friends as I can.
