We handle missing and absent person cases - establishing absence before the court, and arranging management of their funds and maintenance for their family until they reappear or a death ruling is issued.
A family member's long absence without word leaves their family in a legal vacuum: who manages their funds? Who provides for their wife and children? We help obtain a judgment establishing absence, which opens the door to appointing someone to manage the absent person's funds for their family's benefit.
When absence continues for a period the court defines, we pursue a case for a ruling of the missing person's death to arrange its Sharia consequences regarding inheritance and iddah, while observing all legal safeguards that protect the absent person's rights should they later reappear.
If news of a family member has been cut off for a long period and you need to arrange their financial affairs or their family's maintenance, or you are considering requesting a death ruling to arrange inheritance, these cases require precise documentation of the absence circumstances.
We gather documents and details of the absence and its timeline, prepare the absence establishment or death ruling case depending on the duration and circumstances, and follow through to judgment and arranging its effects.
Once a person is legally declared missing, their estate matters are handled through our inheritance and estates service, coordinated with the same family.
An absent person is one whose news has been cut off with the likelihood they remain alive, while a missing person is one whose news was cut off in circumstances where death is likely, such as an accident or disaster; each has different proof procedures.
The court appoints someone to manage their funds for their benefit and that of those they are obligated to support, after issuing a judgment establishing absence upon a request from an interested party.
After a period defined by law depending on the circumstances of the disappearance, and the death ruling triggers the Sharia effects of inheritance and iddah.
Legal safeguards exist to address this possibility, preserving their rights to what remains of their funds under special provisions, and we explain these safeguards precisely when needed.
