Inheritance Issue: The Story of a Woman Deprived of Her Rights in Her Deceased Husband’s WILL

A Distressing Tale of Injustice in Inheritance

In the heart of the United Arab Emirates, a place known for its commitment to justice and fair practice, a distressing tale of injustice in inheritance has emerged. Today, I met a client, Mrs. Katerina Solovyova*, who found herself entangled in a situation where she was unjustly deprived of her rightful share in her husband’s WILL.

Inheritance Complexities and Challenges

Her story is not just a personal tragedy but also a reflection of the complexities and challenges that can arise in matters of inheritance, particularly in jurisdictions governed by distinct legal frameworks in the U.A.E.

Her husband passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a sizable estate. As per Law, the assets of the deceased should be distributed as per his last WILL, and while issuing an order of probate of all such WILLS, the respectable Court should take special care.

She was shocked to discover that her late husband’s WILL didn’t allocate her a fair share of their accumulated wealth, that is not an end of injustice. Above that respectable Court ordered all share of properties in favor of the two daughters, despite that the specific mention was there in the WILL of her husband for one property solely allocated to her.

Will Registration

Upon examining the WILL, it became apparent that there was some mistake made while registering the WILL, and maybe all the beneficiaries were not well defined at the of preparation, which caused a respectable Court to oversee her entitlements. Due to this oversight, lack of proper legal counsel, or deliberate exclusion, Mrs. Katerina Solovyova* found herself facing a distressing reality.

The emotional toll of losing a loved one is profound, and when coupled with the stress of navigating legal intricacies, it becomes an overwhelming ordeal. Her experience highlights the importance of seeking professional legal guidance and establishing transparent and fair testamentary intentions.

Resolution: Writing a Will with Professionals

In the pursuit of a resolution, her case underscores the significance of legal recourse and the imperative need for reform or clearer guidelines to prevent similar injustices in the future. Diligent and extra care while writing an WILL with professionals is essential to address such gaps in inheritance laws and ensure equitable outcomes for all parties involved.

As I conclude my meeting with Mrs. Katerina Solovyova*, her plight serves as a poignant reminder of the vulnerabilities individuals face in matters of inheritance. WILL is something that one prepares to remove the possibilities of such hardships in his/her absence to the members in grief.

In the pursuit of progress, it’s crucial to Law Professionals for reforms that uphold fairness, protect the rights of surviving family members, and foster a legal environment where testamentary freedom harmonizes with the principles of equity and justice.
