Key Aspects of Heirs’ Property Sales

The heirs’ sale procedure is one of the official real estate registration services of the Dubai Land Department (DLD). It regulates the sale of inherited properties in accordance with Law No. (7) of 2006 Concerning Real Property Registration in the Emirate of Dubai. Under this law, ownership rights and all related transactions — including sales by heirs — must be formally registered with the DLD to be legally recognised.

The procedure allows legal heirs to sell inherited real estate, whether land, villas, apartments, or other registered properties. It ensures that ownership transfers are carried out lawfully and that the proceeds from the sale are distributed among heirs in accordance with their officially registered shares.

Legal Procedure and Approvals

The heirs’ sale registration applies once the property has been transferred into the heirs’ names and they wish to sell it, either partially or in full, to a third-party buyer. Approval from the Investigation Committee is required before residential property sales can take place. This step protects the rights of all heirs and confirms their consent to the transaction.

The DLD oversees the entire process, which includes verifying ownership documents, identifying the legal heirs, and confirming payment of all required fees. All documents, including the Title Deed and inheritance certificates, must be submitted through official DLD channels to ensure full compliance with inheritance and property registration laws.

Within this regulatory framework, heirs can lawfully sell inherited property with complete legal security. The process guarantees that each heir receives their rightful share of the proceeds, while the buyer obtains a valid, legally recognised Title Deed confirming ownership.

Procedural Features of an Heirs’ Property Sale

The process of selling the property begins once it is registered in the heirs’ names following the inheritance procedure. The heirs, or their legal representatives holding a valid Power of Attorney, submit the required documents to an authorised Real Estate Registration Trustee Centre such as EGSH.

The DLD system verifies the information, and upon approval, the sale proceeds are distributed to the heirs’ registered bank accounts. If a RERA-licensed broker is involved, their details and commission payments are also documented through verified IBAN accounts. The new Title Deed and property map are then issued to the buyer, confirming the successful transfer of ownership.

The entire process is designed to provide complete legal protection for the heirs and the buyer, ensuring compliance with UAE property and inheritance regulations.

Government Fees for Heirs’ Property Sale

The official Dubai Land Department fees for the heirs’ sale procedure are as follows:

2% of the sale value payable by the seller (heirs)
2% of the sale value payable by the purchaser
AED 250 – for the issuance of each Title Deed (ownership certificate)
AED 100 – for a land plot map outside the Dubai Municipality jurisdiction
AED 225 – for a unified land map within the Dubai Municipality jurisdiction
AED 10 Knowledge Fee and AED 10 Innovation Fee per drawing

In addition, service partner fees apply:

AED 4,000 + VAT for properties valued at AED 500,000 or more
AED 2,000 + VAT for properties valued below AED 500,000

All payments can be made via cheque or credit card at the Trustee Centre. An electronic receipt is issued immediately after settlement, confirming compliance with official DLD requirements.

Where Heirs’ Property Transfers Are Registered

Heirs’ property sale registrations can only be completed through official DLD-authorised Real Estate Registration Trustee Centres, like EGSH. These centres are authorised to:

Verify all inheritance and sale documents, including the Inheritance Certificate and Power of Attorney;
Collect and process payments of government and service fees;
Submit and finalise the transaction through DLD systems in compliance with official regulations.

All data is recorded directly in the DLD register, ensuring full transparency, traceability, and legal validity of the ownership transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inheritance Sale Procedure in the UAE

Still have any questions?

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

I would like to express my appreciation to Ray from EGSH for his outstanding assistance in handling the transfer of our property at Rove Hotel. He was very helpful, accommodating, and patient throughout the entire process, from addressing transaction concerns and verifying documents to the actual property transfer and ensuring the new owner received the title deed…

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed. I was amazed, considering how difficult it had seemed before. Not to mention, the fees were the same or even lower than those of the other companies I mentioned. For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.

Zara assisted me with my Ejari registration, and she was absolutely amazing. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and delivered everything promptly. Truly a pleasure to work with!
