Why MyHaven uses ADJD
ADJD offers a relatively accessible route for eligible non-UAE nationals looking to register a will covering their UAE assets. MyHaven simplifies the process by helping you prepare your will online, step by step, before you proceed to registration.
For the people you love
Your family is your haven. Make sure they are protected.
When you pass away, your UAE bank accounts freeze. Without a registered will, your family could spend months in court just to access what's already theirs. A will isn't about worst-case thinking. It's about making sure the people you love are looked after, no matter what comes.
One price, and it carries you to registration.
Not an hourly clock and not a document left on your desk. You know the price from the start.

Read guideBefore you start.
Is a MyHaven will legally valid in the UAE?
Yes. MyHaven helps you prepare a will that can be registered with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD). An ADJD-registered will is legally recognised across all seven emirates of the UAE, so you can register an ADJD will regardless of which emirate you live in. Your will needs to be properly registered with the ADJD to take legal effect.
How do I know if an ADJD will is right for me?
Registering a will with the ADJD is one of three routes available for will registration in the UAE. An ADJD will can be a good fit if you're a UAE expat with straightforward assets and want to make sure they're distributed according to your wishes, at a comparatively affordable cost.
What is the difference between a solo will and a mirror will?
A solo will covers an individual. A mirror will allows both partners to create their own separate, legally independent wills, with both included in one bundle for 999 AED.
How long does the process take?
Your MyHaven questionnaire takes around 20 minutes, and your English will draft is ready immediately. Once you approve it, your final will, including the Arabic translation and official stamp, is ready within 7 working days. Registration with the ADJD is completed by video call, based on the court's appointment availability. ADJD also provides fast-track options to complete will registration in 2 weeks.
Is the MyHaven process completely online?
Yes. From creating your will to registering it with the ADJD, the entire process can be completed online. We'll guide you through each step, so you can get it sorted without the paperwork and back-and-forth.
Can I talk to an expert?
Yes. Every MyHaven case has a dedicated case manager. Simply reach out to us on WhatsApp and an expert will review your information, answer your questions and guide you through the next steps.
What happens after my will is drafted?
Once your will draft is ready and approved, we can help you book your ADJD court appointment to register your will. Our expert will guide you through the registration process and next steps.
What if I want to make changes to my will later?
Yes. You can update your will as your life or wishes change. The process and any applicable fees depend on your will and whether it has already been signed or registered.
Are my documents secure?
Yes. Your personal information and will documents are handled securely and only used to prepare and process your will. We take your privacy seriously and use appropriate security measures to protect your information throughout the process.
Is there a way to expedite the will registration process?
Yes. ADJD registration is subject to the court's appointment schedule, but an expedited option may be available for an additional court fee. Once your will draft is ready, our expert can guide you through the options and next steps.
Is MyHaven a law firm?
No. MyHaven is a will-drafting platform built to make creating a UAE will simpler and more accessible. Our process is built with specialist legal input, and every will is reviewed by a human before it reaches you. We focus on making straightforward wills easy to create, professionally prepared and ready for registration with the ADJD. If your circumstances are more complex and you need personalised legal advice, we can connect you with an expert for additional support.
