Make a will that works in more than one country
WONE Global coordinates wills, or one will with local provisions, that work together in each country where you hold assets, with forced-heirship and tax rules checked in each.
Countries in the typical case India · United Arab Emirates · United Kingdom
The situation
A person owns property or assets in several countries and one will may not work everywhere.
What is at stake
A will that does not work in one country can leave assets frozen or passing to the wrong people.
Who faces this
A scenario
Couple, resident in DubaiPrivate client or family · from India · in United Arab Emirates, India, United Kingdom

Where it ends Wills that work in every country where they hold assets.
