Expert wills & endowments lawyers in Saudi Arabia. Legal advice and court representation. Contact us today.
We draft Sharia-compliant wills and establish charitable and family endowments (waqf), and resolve disputes over existing wills and endowments between beneficiaries and supervisors.
A Sharia will allows a person to dispose of a limited portion of their wealth after death within precise Sharia limits, and we draft it to ensure its enforceability without later challenge from heirs. Waqf goes further by freezing the asset and dedicating its yield to a charitable or family purpose in perpetuity.
We help establish new waqf with precise legal drafting defining the supervisor and their powers, beneficiaries and their shares, and handle disputes over existing waqf: supervisor negligence in managing the waqf, or disagreement among beneficiaries over yield distribution, following up on the waqf before the competent Awqaf authority.
If you are planning to write a Sharia will or establish a charitable or family waqf, or are in a dispute over an existing waqf with the supervisor or other beneficiaries, precise Sharia and legal drafting from the start prevents complex disputes later.
We listen to your wishes for the will or waqf, draft it within Sharia and legal limits, and formally document it, or represent you in any existing dispute over a will or waqf before the competent authority.
A will's provisions are ultimately executed alongside the broader inheritance division process, and we manage both as one coordinated file.
One-third of the total estate at most without other heirs' authorization, and we draft the will within this limit to ensure its enforceability without challenge.
The general rule is that a will to an heir is not permitted without other heirs' authorization after death; we clarify this ruling precisely when drafting the will.
Waqf beneficiaries and the competent Awqaf authority have the right to hold the supervisor accountable, and we represent beneficiaries in any complaint against documented negligence.
In specific legally defined cases through a formal procedure before the competent authority, especially if the original waqf purpose cannot be achieved in its current form.
