ADJD Civil Family Court
AED 950 regular registration
ADJD also lists AED 2,500 for special will registration; confirm when that applies before relying on it.
ADGM Wills Office
approximately AED 1,520
AED 950 attestation + ~USD 155 notary fee. The AED figure is approximate because the notary component is listed in USD.
DIFC Courts Wills Service
AED 10,000 single / AED 15,000 mirror for Full Wills
DIFC is a separate route with different scope and process. These are official DIFC Wills Service fees, before any separate lawyer or provider costs.
Is the lowest-fee route always right?
No. Cost matters, but eligibility, asset scope, guardianship needs, translation requirements and the court process matter too.
Use the eligibility flow and compare ADGM and ADJD before choosing based on price alone.
