Heirs' Sale Procedure in Dubai

The Dubai inheritance sale procedure allows legal heirs to sell inherited property after the heirs' ownership registration is completed. This service can be initiated by any legal heir or their authorised representative upon obtaining the necessary approvals and inheritance documentation. EGSH assists with the whole process, ensuring compliance with all DLD rules.

Under UAE law, heirs must register ownership through the Dubai Land Department before initiating a property transfer. The process includes verifying inheritance status, submitting required documents, and completing the sale through a licenced Real Estate Registration Trustee Centre like EGSH.

An Inheritance Certificate in the UAE is a legal document issued by Dubai Courts that confirms the legal heirs of a deceased person. It is mandatory for property inheritance in Dubai and must be presented during the heirs' sale registration process to validate ownership claims and initiate the transfer.

The official process includes visiting a Real Estate Registration Trustee Centre, submitting documents, paying the applicable fees, and obtaining DLD approval. Once the sale is registered, funds are transferred to the heirs, and the new title deed is issued. EGSH manages the entire real estate sale process for heirs in a single visit.
