The Simple Promissory Note Between Family Members is designed for use in the United Arab Emirates when one family member wishes to formally document a promise to pay money to another family member. This document type is particularly useful in situations involving family loans, gifts with delayed payment, or inheritance planning. It must comply with UAE Federal Law No. 18 of 1993 (Commercial Transactions Law) and consider Sharia principles, while maintaining the more informal nature of family transactions. The document includes essential elements such as the amount promised, payment terms, parties' details, and their family relationship, while incorporating UAE-specific requirements like Arabic language considerations and local authentication procedures where necessary. It's commonly used in family business contexts, estate planning, or when families wish to formalize financial arrangements while maintaining clear documentation for future reference.
