5 mistakes that will ruin your wills translation in Dubai

Writing a will is one of the most crucial things people have to do. This is because writing a will enables you to control what will happen to your possessions once you die. Therefore, it is supposed to be written with the utmost care to avoid any future misunderstandings. However, there are several common mistakes that people make when writing their wills that usually prove to be disastrous especially when taken for translation. This could end up stopping your wishes from being granted in the long run.  Here are some of the mistakes you are likely to make that could be misinterpreted during your wills translation in Dubai.

  1. Unclear wordings

Incorrect and unclear wordings have the potential of making your will invalid or setting it up for mistranslation whenever the time arises. This could, in turn, see the beneficiaries of the will lose it to another person that it was not intended for.

  • Not updating the will

There are a lot of eventualities in life that may require you to constantly update your will. Some of these things include birth or adoption of a child, divorce, marriage among other factors. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that you update the will in case of such eventualities. After updating the will, it is recommended to destroy all copies of the previous one.

  • Hiding the original copy

When it comes to wills translation in Dubai, the executors of the will are required to present the original copy of the will and not the photocopy version of it. Therefore, it is important to ensure that those people close to you know where to find the original copy of the will.

  • Forgetting intangible assets

Most people only focus on their tangible assets like houses and cars. However, it is equally important to include your intangible assets to your will such as your bank accounts, shares, or premium bonds.

  • Forgetting about your funeral

Most people do not pay attention to what they wish to be done during their funeral without knowing that this leaves a lot of people with divided opinions during your funeral which might in turn be the beginning of a family feud.
