At Blacktower, we help clients put in place clear, well-structured plans to transfer their wealth in accordance with their wishes while protecting assets and maintaining control during their lifetime.
We conduct estate planning to make sure your affairs are organised, your intentions are clearly documented, and your legacy is secured, no matter where your assets or family members are based. A thorough plan helps ensure your wealth is transferred smoothly, with fewer complications and delays for your beneficiaries.

FAQs
Do I need a Will if I live in the UAE?
Yes. Without a Will recognised by UAE or DIFC law, your estate may be handled under default succession rules. A DIFC Will allows you to document your intentions clearly and enforceably within the UAE.
What’s the difference between a Will and a trust?
A Will takes effect after death and outlines how your assets are distributed. A trust is a structure that can be set up during your lifetime to manage assets, often offering greater control and flexibility.
Can you work with my lawyer or tax adviser?
Yes. We frequently collaborate with legal and tax professionals to ensure your plan is accurate, compliant, and properly integrated.
Is estate planning something I do once?
Estate planning is not a one-time task. It should be reviewed regularly, especially after major life changes such as marriage, the birth of a child, or relocation. We support clients with ongoing reviews as part of their broader financial planning.
