Frequently Asked Questions
Estate administration is the process of managing and distributing a deceased person's assets according to their will or, if there is no will, according to the laws of intestacy. This includes identifying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries.
The duration of estate administration can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the estate, but it typically takes between 6 months to 2 years. Simple estates may be settled more quickly, while complex estates or those involving disputes may take longer.
For Muslim estates, we adhere to Shariah law principles in asset distribution, working with religious authorities when necessary. For non-Muslim estates, we follow the deceased's will or the Distribution Act 1958 if there is no will. In both cases, we ensure all legal and religious requirements are met throughout the process.
If disputes arise among beneficiaries, we act as an impartial mediator, striving to resolve conflicts amicably. We provide clear communication and transparency throughout the process. If necessary, we can engage legal experts to help resolve complex disputes while ensuring fair treatment for all parties involved.
