In the UAE, if a foreigner who owns real estate passes away, the property will be transferred according to the inheritance laws applicable to the deceased. If the owner has a will registered in the UAE, the property will be distributed according to that will. If no will is registered, UAE courts will typically apply Sharia law for inheritance distribution. However, non-Muslims can request the application of their home country's inheritance laws, provided they have a will specifying this.
