Common questions
Yes. Many Blanket customers live in Dubai.
You can complete the Blanket process online from Dubai. We prepare your UAE will, arrange Arabic translation where needed, and guide the registration steps.
You do not need to travel to Abu Dhabi for the final notarization appointment.
No. Blanket’s UAE will service is designed to address matters within the document’s stated scope. Whether that is all you need depends on your assets, family, residence and the laws that apply.
But expat life often crosses borders. You may have assets, family, or responsibilities in another country too.
Blanket starts with your UAE will, then helps you understand whether your estate plan should also include something else, such as a power of attorney or a home-country will.
No. Blanket is a UAE-based estate-planning technology platform, not a law firm.
We provide a guided process, document preparation, human review and registration support for expats and people with cross-border lives. Our public guides and platform information are general information, not legal advice.
Our process is built from legal and product experience and supported by real people. If you need advice about your individual rights, tax position, a dispute or a complex cross-border estate, speak with a qualified adviser.
After you pay, we assign a Blanket specialist who manages your case, answers your questions and tells you what is needed next. You can track progress in your dashboard at any time.
Your specialist reviews your answers and helps prepare the documents you selected.
That may include your UAE will, a power of attorney, or another document that forms part of your estate plan. If anything is missing or unclear, we will let you know. You can then review the drafts, ask questions, and request changes if needed.
For an ADJD will, the later stages usually include Arabic translation where required, ADJD submission and review, and the online notarization appointment. We keep you updated as the process moves forward and tell you when anything is needed from you.
Most people complete the online assessment in around 10 to 15 minutes.
After payment, we assign a Blanket expert to your case, review your answers and prepare the documents you selected. The drafting timeline depends on what your plan includes and whether anything is missing or unclear.
For an ADJD will, once the draft is approved, we arrange Arabic translation where needed and guide the signing. The will is then submitted to ADJD, and the final online notarization appointment is assigned based on ADJD availability.
Current Blanket customer experience is that regular notarization appointments are taking around 3 months on average as of 23 July 2026. Availability changes, and faster routes may be available depending on your situation.
No. Blanket’s fee is separate from the ADJD court fee. The ADJD court fee is paid separately to the court.
The current published ADJD fee is AED 950 per regular will. Two people registering two wills therefore pay AED 1,900 in total. We show the authority fee separately before you pay; it is subject to ADJD’s current schedule.
Blanket’s fee covers the online will process, preparation of your draft, review of your details, Arabic translation where required, and guidance through the registration steps.
Court / government fees are paid separately.
If ADJD asks for a correction or additional information, we help update the document and guide the next steps.
Any correction, refund or other remedy is handled under the current Blanket Guarantee and Terms. Authority decisions, new government fees and changes caused by information supplied after the original preparation are treated according to those terms.
Tell us during the online questionnaire. A UAE will may refer to overseas assets, but whether it is effective and how it is enforced depends on the law and procedure in each relevant country.
We flag this where relevant so your UAE document does not sit in isolation from the rest of your estate plan. Cross-border legal or tax advice may be appropriate, particularly where you own property, a business or trust interests abroad.
UK wills are available now as an add-on, with more jurisdictions being added.
You can record digital assets such as online accounts, crypto and domains, and leave practical instructions about where an inventory can be found. Do not put passwords, private keys or seed phrases in a public or registered will. Access and transfer ultimately depend on applicable law, the provider’s terms and the separate credential arrangements you leave behind.
You can update your will if your situation changes, for example if you have a child, buy property, move country, change executors or update beneficiaries.
Ongoing updates are available through optional Blanket Membership.
Blanket is online by design. You can create, review and sign your documents from home, with our team supporting you through the process online.
This keeps the document-preparation and registration-support process efficient and avoids unnecessary office visits.
Blanket was founded by Anton Pirinen, a lawyer by training and former member of Wio Bank’s founding team. He is Blanket’s founder and CEO.
The team combines first-hand UAE banking and product experience with estate-planning technology to make the practical process clearer for lives built across borders.
We use secure systems and strict access controls to protect the information you share with us. Blanket operates through a licensed UAE entity, and we treat customer data with the level of care we would expect for our own families.
