At the centre of this revelation is the Digital Assets Will, a new product that helps individuals control how their digital property is distributed. This is a non-custodial wallet where the user has full control of their assets during their lifetime and provisions for bequeathing the remainder of their assets. This new strategy is a welcome development in the AM world, especially for assets, including cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), MATIC, USDC, USDT, and Hedera’s hbar.
His Excellency Justice Omar Al Mheiri, Director of the DIFC Courts, said, “Given the rapidly growing global availability of new technologies, people and business entities tend to demand simple access to public services. Still, it seems our duty is to utilize the current emerging technologies to enable such growth and demand.

The DIFC Courts’ Digital Assets Will is backed up with sophisticated blockchain mechanisms for sound transitions and security. Future developments will include additions to the NFT standard, such as ERC 721 and Hedera Token Service (HTS).
Enhanced Security with Notary Services Powered by Hedera Blockchain

This service allows for the notarisation of English documents, offering three options for users: which are an automated self-service, a virtual notarisation system, and notarisation on-site.
This means that documents that will be notarised using the service will be accreditations by higher cryptographic algorithms. All notarised events will be recorded unto the Hedera Blockchain promising immutability of the documents logged. The main concept of providing user anonymity is based on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), which transforms documents into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) following the presented standards of the ERC20.
