Frequently asked questions

Can a will change Quran based shares

For Muslim estates, bequests are limited to one third of the net estate and cannot reduce fixed Quranic shares without consent of the adult heirs.

What if there are minors

The court can appoint a guardian or structure protective measures. Funds are secured until the minor reaches majority.

Do overseas Pakistanis need to travel

In many cases we work through special power of attorney and legalized documents. Travel can be avoided with careful planning.
