Plan Your Family's UAE Structure
Who This Is For
This page is for Moroccan families whose wealth, businesses or members already reach beyond Morocco, and who are considering the UAE as the place to hold and manage it.
Moroccan Families Living in the UAE
Families already resident in the UAE who want a long-term structure for their assets.
Families With Wealth Outside Morocco
Families holding declared assets abroad who want them organized under one plan.
Family Businesses With a UAE Presence
Owners of Moroccan groups with a UAE company who are planning for the next generation.
Families Spread Across Countries
Families with members in Morocco, the UAE, Europe and elsewhere who need one plan.
Start With Where the Assets Sit
For Moroccan families, the first question is not which UAE structure to use, but which assets can lawfully be placed in it. Assets held by family members resident in Morocco remain subject to Moroccan exchange-control and declaration rules, while assets of family members resident in the UAE or elsewhere may be in a different position. We map who holds what, where they are resident and what has been declared, and your Moroccan advisers confirm the Moroccan side before anything is transferred.
Starting From What Your Family Wants to Achieve
We don’t begin with a structure. We begin with what your family is trying to achieve, then work out what, if anything, needs to be set up in the UAE to get there.
Keeping the Family Business Together
Providing for the Next Generation
Making sure children and grandchildren are provided for in the way the family intends.
Bringing Assets Under One Plan
Clear Decision-Making Within the Family
Succession That Works in Both Countries
Moroccan succession rules apply to many Moroccan families and can determine how assets in Morocco pass between heirs. A UAE structure can bring order to assets held outside Morocco, but it has to be planned with the Moroccan position in mind so that the two do not conflict.
Where a UAE structure is the right answer for assets held outside Morocco, it has to be planned with the Moroccan position in mind so that the two do not conflict.
Working With Your Existing Advisers
Many Moroccan families already have trusted advisers in Morocco and elsewhere. We work alongside them rather than replacing them. WTA handles the UAE side of the family’s plan and coordinates directly with your other advisers, so every part of the plan stays joined up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Moroccan family hold assets through a UAE foundation?
Yes, where the assets can lawfully be placed in it. The answer depends on who owns the assets and where they are resident, because Moroccan residents remain subject to exchange-control and declaration rules. We map this with your Moroccan advisers before recommending a structure.
What is the difference between a DIFC and an ADGM foundation?
Both hold assets and set out how they are managed and passed on, but they sit under different legal frameworks and registries. We compare them for your family’s assets, governance needs and location.
Does a UAE structure replace Moroccan succession rules?
Does our family need a family office?
Not always. A holding company or foundation is enough for many families. A family office makes sense when the wealth and the number of family members need dedicated management.
