Dubai Fact-File Part 4:
Individual Business Tax-Efficient Structures

4.5 Dubai Personal Estate and Inheritance Planning

There is no inheritance tax in Dubai. The inheritance of real estate in Dubai is governed by Sharia Law. This states that a property passes to the eldest son of the deceased, who is given precedence over a surviving wife. This is potentially something to consider and obtain legal advice on, even if there is no inheritance tax to pay.
