Structuring Civil Estates Fees & Administrative Clearance Remuneration (Online)
Because civil estates for foreigners require complex coordination of international documents, we adopt at Qarar a transparent pricing plan that completely separates sovereign costs from the procedural effort remuneration (remotely):
- Civil Court Judicial Fees: These are the sovereign fees mandated for opening the civil estate file, or registering appeal requests and applying foreign law. These fees are determined according to the Abu Dhabi courts’ schedules, and we extract the payment order for you to settle it (digitally) entirely in favor of the department.
- Documentary Management & Tracking Remuneration: This is our team’s remuneration in exchange for the structural audit of the foreign testator’s documents, precisely drafting (inheritance distribution for each element) requests, uploading memorandums (electronically), and extracting departments’ and banks’ letters. This is determined upfront with transparency based on the estate’s volume and the multiplicity of assets.
