Enquire Now A Will says what should happen. The Legacy Folder™ helps show where everything is.
Most UAE expats have a life spread across countries: accounts at home, property here, insurance somewhere in between. The Legacy Folder™ makes sure your family can find all of it, when it matters most.

When nobody knows where anything is
When documents are not organised, families do not just grieve. They search. These are the problems we see most often in probate and estate planning.
Missing insurance details
A life policy only pays out if someone knows to claim it. Policies bought years ago, through an employer or a bank, are missed more often than you would think.
Unknown bank accounts
Accounts in two or three countries, some dormant, some online only. Without a record of where they are, tracing them can take years.
Unclear executor instructions
When the person handling your estate has to guess, everything slows down: probate, transfers, even the rent and school fees that cannot wait.
Documents scattered everywhere
Title deeds in one country, statements in an inbox, passwords on a phone. Families lose weeks piecing it together, often across languages.
One folder. Everything your family needs.
The Legacy Folder™ is a practical estate planning tool that organises the key information, documents, contacts, and instructions your family or executor may need one day: what exists, where it is kept, who to contact, and what your wishes are. It does not replace your Will. It works alongside it: your Will gives legal direction, your Legacy Folder gives practical guidance.
