Is there a certain age required to own or dispose of a real estate in the Emirate of Dubai?

The law does not require any age to own a real estate in the Emirate of Dubai. However, in case a person is desirous to sell, donate or mortgage a real estate owned by a minor, in a whole or in part, a judgment awarded by the competent judge approving the sale of the real estate / share of the minor issued from the Awqaf and Minors' Affairs Foundation for the citizens holding a registration extract (Khulasat Qayed) from the Emirate of Dubai and from the competent court for the rest of the categories shall be submitted.

In case of purchase of a real estate for a minor (less than 21 years), the legal guardian will sign the contract on behalf of the minor.
