Compassionate help when it matters most
Probate is the legal process of settling someone's estate after they pass away. Debts are paid, assets are gathered, and the inheritance is distributed. For Muslim families, both the law and the Islamic shares have to be honoured.
The Faraid shares matter
The Quran sets out the shares clearly, and honouring them is not optional. The Faraid calculation is specific and unforgiving. Getting it wrong leads to disputes and to rights being missed, sometimes without anyone realising. This is not the kind of detail an executor should be left to work out alone.
What we help with
- Managing the grant of probate or letters of administration
- Identifying the heirs according to Shariah rulings
- Distributing assets according to the correct shares
- Settling debts, funeral costs and any tax due
- Mediating disputes and guiding the executor
