Kingsman AssociatePlanning for children
Record who you would want to care for your children
For parents, UAE Will planning should consider both who receives the assets and who the parents would nominate to care for their children if the worst were to happen.
Short-term and longer-term care
Parents may want to consider a trusted person who could help immediately in the UAE and the person or people they would nominate for longer-term care. The appropriate wording and process depend on the family's circumstances.
Discuss the practical details
Bring the children's basic details, the proposed carers' information and any relevant family arrangements to the consultation. The specialist will explain what information and documents are needed for the chosen route.
Keep the plan current
Family, residence and relationship changes can affect the plan. Review the Will after significant changes and make sure the people involved know where the final documents are held.
