Let’s be honest: dealing with legal paperwork isn’t something most of us get excited about. But when you’re living in the UAE—far from your home country and familiar systems—there are a few critical things you really shouldn’t leave to chance. Who would care for your children if something unexpected happened? What happens to your assets if you don’t have a locally valid will?

That’s where Samara from Aramas International Lawyers steps in. Known across the British expat community for her warm, empathetic approach, Samara is making legal planning in the UAE easier—and far less intimidating—for families who just want peace of mind.

British-born and fluent in Arabic, Samara bridges cultures and legal frameworks with ease. She specialises in helping expats navigate the UAE’s legal system with clarity, confidence, and kindness. Whether she’s speaking at community events or guiding a client through one of life’s tougher transitions, she’s earned a reputation as someone you can truly trust.

Behind her is a powerhouse team of legal professionals, all driven by the same mission: to provide compassionate, confidential, and clear legal support to expats across the UAE. Together, they offer more than just legal documents—they offer peace of mind.

Samara was recently accepted as a full member of STEP (the global Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners), which is the international benchmark for specialists in inheritance and succession planning. This is more than a title—it’s your assurance that you’re working with someone who has both the credentials and the compassion to guide you through important life planning with expertise.

“Do I really need a will in the UAE?“

Short answer: yes. Many expats assume that their home country’s will is enough—but it often isn’t. The UAE has its own legal framework, which doesn’t automatically follow UK or Western-style inheritance laws. That means if you don’t have a UAE-registered will, decisions about your children or your estate might be made in ways you wouldn’t expect.

Aramas International Lawyers can help you create wills under both the DIFC Courts and the Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court, both of which allow expats to register their documents in English under common law principles. These options offer much-needed clarity—and critical protection—for families living here.

Here’s what Aramas International Lawyers can assist with:
  • UAE Wills (Dubai & Abu Dhabi): Legally protect your assets and guardianship wishes.
  • Guardianship Documents: Vital for parents who want to ensure their children are cared for according to their wishes.
  • Divorce, Separation & Family Law: Empathetic, practical support during challenging transitions.
  • Inheritance & Probate Guidance: Making the legal process smoother during times of loss.

Already trusted by many UAE expat families, Aramas International Lawyers is now proudly connecting with more members of the British Mums community.
