    What is the procedure for registering property when an owner dies?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    When a Real Property Right is part of an estate, the decree of distribution must be registered on the Real Property Register to remain valid. Any subsequent disposition by an heir regarding their share will not be effective or binding against third parties until this registration is completed. The DLD charges a fee of AED 1,000 per inherited property to record the ownership in the name of the heirs. This formal process ensures the continuity of the title and legal certainty for the estate,.
