What costs make up a UAE will?
People often want one final number. In practice, costs are separated by who provides the service and who charges the official fee.
Preparation or platform fee
The amount paid for guided document preparation or professional help.
Court or government fee
The official registration or notarisation fee, paid directly to the relevant court.
Translation
Arabic translation is included in the EasyWills platform fee. Route requirements differ.
VAT and future updates
VAT may apply where relevant, and future court update processes may involve extra fees.
EasyWills platform fees
EasyWills currently uses the same platform-fee schedule for ADGM and ADJD routes. Official court and government fees differ by route and are separate.
Platform fees may be subject to VAT at launch.
Court and government fees by route
These figures are for route comparison. Court and government fees can change, so check the relevant court source before relying on figures for a live decision.
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
AED 950 + USD 155
Approximately AED 1,520 using a standard AED/USD conversion. The AED figure is approximate because one 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.

ADJD lists AED 950 for regular will registration. ADJD also lists AED 2,500 for special will registration; when that applies should be confirmed before relying on it.

For the ADGM route, the official fee components reviewed were AED 950 payable via ADJD and USD 155 payable to ADGM Courts. EasyWills records that as approximately AED 1,520, but the AED figure is approximate because one component is listed in USD.
