Legal Advice Disclaimer

1. No legal advice

We provide general legal information about the will registration process only and do not provide legal advice.

ExpatWill.ae does not provide legal opinions or personalised legal recommendations.

2. What ExpatWill.ae provides

ExpatWill.ae is a self-guided online platform designed to help users complete the information required to generate a structured will document.

The platform guides users through the required steps and questions, collects factual information, and uses that information to populate predefined fields in a will template formatted to align with Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) submission requirements.

The platform is designed to help users complete the required information in a clear, structured, and consistent manner.

3. Guidance provided by the platform

The platform provides guided prompts, explanations, and general information to help users understand what information is being requested and how the will registration process works.

This guidance is intended to help users complete the process clearly and accurately. It does not involve applying the law to a user's personal circumstances, making legal judgments, or recommending specific legal outcomes. Users remain fully in control of the choices they make and the information they provide.

While ExpatWill.ae does not provide legal advice, the platform is designed to guide users through a structured process intended to help reduce common omissions and inconsistencies.

4. Will registration process

The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) will registration process involves several stages, including proofreading by an ADJD court clerk and final attestation.

ExpatWill.ae operates only at the pre-submission stage, where users enter information into predefined fields to generate a will template ready for court clerk proofreading. We also provide general guidance on the remaining ADJD registration steps so users understand what to expect.

5. ADJD proofreading and attestation

Any proofreading, assessment, or approval of a will is carried out exclusively by ADJD as part of its statutory process. Proofreading by an ADJD court clerk relates to procedural and submission requirements rather than personalised legal advice.

ExpatWill.ae does not, on an individual basis, review or assess the legal validity of the information entered by users.

6. Court fees

Any ADJD or government fees associated with will proofreading, registration, or attestation are paid directly through ADJD systems.

ExpatWill.ae does not collect or handle ADJD or government fees.

7. Automated checks for completeness and consistency

To assist users, the platform may provide automated informational alerts where information appears to be missing or internally inconsistent.

These alerts are generated using predefined, rules-based checks and are intended to help users review their entries for completeness and alignment. They do not assess legal validity, provide legal advice, or recommend what should or should not be included.

All final decisions about document content remain with the user.

8. Responsibility for information entered

Users are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all information they enter, including but not limited to names, dates of birth, and identification details.

ExpatWill.ae does not independently verify user-provided information.

9. Registration, interpretation, and platform support

Wills prepared using our platform are reviewed by ADJD as part of the registration process. This review relates to procedural and submission requirements in force at the time of registration.

Requests for clarification or amendment during the ADJD registration process are part of the normal registration workflow.

After registration, a will may later be interpreted or applied by a court in connection with estate administration or inheritance matters. The interpretation or application of a will is outside our control and does not form part of the services we provide.

Where a will prepared through our platform requires clarification, amendment, or further document-related steps in connection with the registration process or subsequent procedural requirements, we will provide reasonable assistance and guidance within the scope of our platform and service offering.

10. Independent legal advice

Any legal information provided through the platform is general in nature and is not a substitute for professional legal advice. Users may seek independent legal advice at any time if they wish, particularly where their circumstances are complex.
