“Beta ji, handshakes and verbal promises are for selling mangoes in the bazaar, not for inheritance. If you want to avoid fights, get it in writing.

 

When You Need Written Agreement

 

• If you give one heir more than their fixed share (needs everyone’s consent).
• If heirs agree to distribute differently for practical reasons.
• When giving gifts (hibah) in your lifetime to avoid disputes later.

 

Example:

 

A man promised his daughter the house verbally. After his death, brothers fought her for it. No written record, no proof, no peace.

 

Uncle’s Final Word

 

Beta ji, a smile fades, but ink lasts. Protect your family with agreements in writing.
