    Inheritance and Estate Division

    Division of Real Estate Assets

    Heirs often face legal, financial, and social challenges when initiating the division of estates, especially concerning real estate and immovable properties. Disputes among heirs or administrative and legal complications can hinder the transfer of ownership. Therefore, seeking assistance from a specialized legal office is essential to ensure a smooth and clear process.

    Legal and Administrative Handling of Inheritance Matters

    Our office provides comprehensive legal support in managing inheritance matters through:

    1. Issuance of Inheritance Certificate

    Issued by Sharia or ecclesiastical courts to prove the legal heirs and their respective shares.

    2. Transfer of Ownership Procedures

    The necessary procedures to transfer ownership of immovable assets from the deceased to the heirs at the relevant authorities.

    3. Division of the Estate

    Conducted either through mutual agreement among heirs or through legal and engineering plans to clearly allocate each heir's share.

    4. Investigation of Undiscovered Assets

    Legal investigations to uncover immovable properties that heirs may not be aware of, ensuring their inclusion in the estate.

    Common Legal Issues in Administrative Procedures

    While managing the estate, several legal issues may arise, such as:

    1. Omission of Heirs

    Typically occurs when heirs are not registered in the civil records, such as those holding foreign citizenship.

    2. Name Discrepancies

    Differences in family names between the official documents of the deceased and the heirs, requiring precise legal correction procedures.

    3. Infeasibility of Property Division

    Especially in the case of residential apartments or small properties that cannot be physically divided, requiring special legal solutions such as selling and dividing the proceeds.

    4. Monopolization of the Estate

    Some heirs may attempt to monopolize immovable assets without the consent of others, necessitating legal intervention to protect the rights of all parties.

    Litigation Related to Inheritance

    When amicable solutions fail, we handle inheritance-related lawsuits, including:

    1. Partition and Termination of Co-ownership Lawsuits

    Aimed at ending co-ownership and fairly dividing real estate among all heirs.

    2. Correction of Title Deeds Lawsuits

    Addressing inaccuracies in ownership documents to reflect the correct legal status.

    3. Opposition Prevention Lawsuits

    Filed to prevent any heir from unlawfully benefiting from or monopolizing the estate.

    4. Settlement Lawsuits

    Handling real estate properties with incomplete settlement procedures to ensure their official and final registration under the heirs' names.
