Wills are one of the most nuanced areas of legal practice. The rules change depending on your faith, the jurisdiction where your assets are located, and your country of residence. Getting it right is critical — and HAQQ Legal AI makes the process dramatically faster and more reliable.
Key facts
- A high-quality AI will prompt defines four things: jurisdiction, role, client profile, and document type.
In this tutorial, we walk through exactly how to use HAQQ to draft a will — step by step. We'll use the UAE as our example, specifically advising non-Muslim expats in Dubai, but the same workflow applies to any jurisdiction HAQQ supports.

Why wills are complicated
Wills are a very complicated topic because there are nuances depending on what faith background you have, depending on which jurisdiction your assets are based in, and where you reside as a resident. For example, in the UAE, non-Muslim expats face specific rules under DIFC Wills Service Centre or Abu Dhabi's regulations, which differ significantly from Sharia-based inheritance rules that apply to Muslim residents.
This is exactly the kind of complexity that HAQQ was built to handle. Rather than spending hours researching the applicable laws, you can describe the situation to the AI and let it produce a jurisdiction-aware, legally structured draft in seconds.
Step 1: Open HAQQ Legal AI Chat
Navigate to HAQQ Legal AI and open the chat interface. This is where you'll interact with the AI to generate your document. The chat works like a conversation with a specialist lawyer — you describe what you need, and the AI produces structured legal output.
Step 2: Write your prompt
The key to getting a high-quality will draft is a well-structured prompt. Here's an example:
"Act as a UAE private lawyer advising non-Muslim expats in Dubai and create a document outlining a will."
Notice how specific this prompt is — it defines the jurisdiction (UAE), the role (private lawyer), the client profile (non-Muslim expat in Dubai), and the document type (will). The more specific your prompt, the more tailored and accurate the output.
You can adapt this for any faith background or jurisdiction. For example, you could ask for a will under Sharia law, or one compliant with English & Welsh succession rules for UK-based assets.
Step 3: Let HAQQ think like a lawyer
Once you press search, HAQQ goes to work. It understands every jurisdiction, takes its time to think and rationalize — exactly like a lawyer would. This is what makes HAQQ fundamentally different from generic AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
HAQQ is completely tailored to exactly how a lawyer thinks. It creates documentation exactly like a lawyer, and the entire architecture of the technology has been designed by lawyers. The output isn't a template — it's a reasoned, structured legal document.

Step 4: Review the generated document
Within seconds, HAQQ produces an extremely dense, comprehensive document covering all the critical points:
- Religious and personal status considerations
- Marital status and spousal provisions
- UAE assets versus foreign assets
- Guardianship wishes for minor children
- Debts, liabilities, and business interests
- Digital assets and online accounts
The AI is completely up to date with the market. On the left-hand side of the chat, you can ask the AI for its rationale behind why it included certain clauses or provisions — giving you full transparency into its reasoning.
Step 5: Edit and finalize
HAQQ isn't just a read-only output tool. You can open the full view of the document and edit it directly within the platform. Any changes you make are tracked, so when you pass this on to a client or colleague, everyone can see exactly what was modified — all in one place.
You can also download the document as a PDF or Word file, which is especially useful if you need to make internal changes or file the document externally. The export is instant — the structure is already formatted by a lawyer, so you don't need to copy and paste into a Word document and reformat.
Why HAQQ is different
Generic AI tools can generate text, but they don't understand legal reasoning. HAQQ was built from the ground up as a legal operating system. Every document it produces reflects the standards, structure, and precision that lawyers expect — because the entire platform was designed by lawyers.
- Jurisdiction-aware: HAQQ understands the legal frameworks of every jurisdiction it operates in.
- Faith-sensitive: Whether your client is Muslim, Christian, Hindu, or secular, HAQQ adapts the will to the appropriate succession rules.
- Lawyer-grade output: No templates. No boilerplate. Every document is reasoned and structured.
- Built-in editing and tracking: Edit, review changes, and export — all within one platform.
- Instant export: Download as PDF or Word with proper legal formatting preserved.
