UAE raises legal adult age to 18
Today, the new Civil Transactions Law No. 25 of 2025 has come into effect, aiming to empower young people to take responsibility and exercise their legal rights independently. The law includes a reduction of the age of majority from 21 to 18 years old, and an amendment to the age at which a guardian can manage a minor’s funds from 18 to 15 years old, facilitating early involvement of youth in economic activities. It also allows for the appointment of an aid for patients who are unable to express their will, and introduces an framework agreement system to effectively organize long-term contracts.
