Inheritance and estate matters represent a significant aspect of the legal system, where legal and ethical elements intertwine, profoundly affecting family relationships. In the United Arab Emirates, these matters are subject to a precise legal framework that reflects the balance between Islamic Sharia and civil laws, while taking into account the rights of all concerned parties. These matters are not limited to merely the distribution of estates among the heirs, but rather encompass complex aspects that require a deep understanding of the law and wisdom in managing situations to ensure the achievement of justice and the protection of the rights of all.

The legal framework for inheritance issues in the Emirates
In the United Arab Emirates, the regulation of inheritance matters primarily relies on Islamic Sharia, which specifies the shares of heirs according to their relationship and the legal texts. There is also a legal framework that allows non-Muslims the choice to apply the laws of their home country to the inheritance, which provides flexibility in dealing with these matters. This entire matter is regulated through the relevant federal laws, the most notable of which is the Personal Status Law No (28) In the year 2005, which specifies the necessary procedures for the distribution of shares according to the law or the will.
