Family & Inheritance Law
Family & Inheritance Law in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a set of laws that governs issues related to family relationships, marriage, divorce, child custody, and inheritance. The UAE is a federation of seven emirates, and each emirate has its own court system and family law codes. However, in general, family and inheritance matters in the UAE are governed by federal laws that apply across all emirates, including Personal Status Law (Federal Law No. 28 of 2005) and Civil Transactions Law (Federal Law No. 5 of 1985).
