Inheritance lawyer in Riyadh and Tabuk
After a death in the family comes a series of procedures at a difficult time: the heirs deed, listing the estate and its debts, carrying out the will, and dividing the estate. It gets harder when heirs disagree, when some are minors or abroad, or when the estate includes property and companies.
Usus Law Firm guides heirs from the start: obtaining the heirs deed, listing the estate, drafting an amicable division, and, if heirs cannot agree, an estate division claim through to enforcement, including the sale of jointly owned property. We regularly assist heirs who live outside Saudi Arabia.
Inheritance services
- Heirs deed: filing and following the application until the deed naming the heirs is issued.
- Estate inventory: assets, property, accounts, company shares and debts.
- Amicable division: drafting and documenting an agreement between heirs.
- Division claims: when heirs disagree or one refuses.
- Wills: proving and carrying out wills within their Sharia limits.
- Minors: guardianship over the shares of minor heirs.
Steps to divide an estate
- 1. Heirs deed: issued online through Najiz after the death is registered.
- 2. Debts: the deceased's debts are paid first.
- 3. Will: carried out within one third and not for an heir, unless the heirs consent.
- 4. Division: the rest is divided by the Sharia shares, by agreement or by judgment.
- 5. Transfer: transferring property and shares, or selling what cannot be divided.
