Understanding Probate and Inheritance in Iran

Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person's estate is administered and distributed to heirs and beneficiaries according to Iranian laws and regulations. Inheritance laws in Iran are primarily governed by Islamic principles, with specific rules regarding the distribution of assets among heirs.

Key Concepts in Iranian Probate and Inheritance

  1. Islamic Law: Inheritance laws in Iran are based on Islamic Sharia principles, which dictate the distribution of assets among heirs. The deceased's estate is typically distributed among close family members, including spouses, children, parents, and siblings, according to predetermined shares outlined in Islamic law.

  2. Will and Testament: While Islamic law governs the distribution of assets in the absence of a will, individuals in Iran have the option to create a will (wasieh) to specify how they want their estate to be distributed after their death. A properly executed will can help streamline the probate process and ensure that your wishes are carried out.

  3. Probate Process: The probate process in Iran involves several steps, including the identification and valuation of assets, payment of debts and taxes, and distribution of the estate among heirs according to Islamic law or the terms of the will.

  4. Inheritance Disputes: Disputes may arise during the probate process, especially regarding the interpretation of Islamic inheritance laws or the validity of a will. Our legal team provides expert guidance and representation to resolve inheritance disputes through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary.
