In the United Arab Emirates, individuals can legally provide a relative with a periodic life annuity, which is a financial arrangement that ensures payments until the recipient's death. This is governed by the Federal Decree by Law No. (25) of 2025, which outlines specific conditions for such agreements. Key requirements include that the annuity obligation must be documented in writing and can be established for the life of the obligor (the payer), the obligee (the recipient), or another designated individual. Furthermore, the obligation will cease in the event of the obligor's death, bankruptcy, or insolvency. If the obligor passes away before the obligee, the latter is entitled to claim a portion of the annuity that corresponds to the time elapsed until the obligor's death, potentially from the obligor's estate. This ensures that the financial support continues as intended, provided all legal stipulations are met.
