How much does it cost to register a will at the DIFC in the UAE?

The cost of registering a will through the DIFC Courts Wills Service depends on factors such as the type of will you choose (for example a single guardianship will versus a full asset will), whether it is registered for one person or as a pair of mirror wills for a couple, and how the registration is carried out. Because these fees are set by the DIFC Courts and are reviewed and updated over time, the only reliable figures are the current ones published on the DIFC Courts official site — you should confirm there rather than relying on amounts quoted in third-party articles, which may be out of date. On top of the registry fee, you may also incur professional fees if you use a lawyer to draft the will and advise on your structure. To budget accurately, check the official DIFC Courts fee schedule for the specific will type you need, and ask any lawyer for a clear quote of their drafting fees separately. If you would like help, you can compare UAE estate-planning professionals on LEXAI who can prepare a DIFC will and explain the total cost involved.
