Inheritance Law – Succession Certificate in Pakistan 

 

Under Pakistani inheritance law, Succession or Legal Heir Certificate is required for distribution of movable & immovable property left behind by the deceased. Our Inheritance legal experts can issue proceedings to obtain succession certificate in Lahore and other cities of Punjab. The law for the procedure for Succession Certificate has to be followed in accordance with the Succession Act 1925. A Muslim Will does not need to be proved; the succession certificate is sufficient. Our Inheritance law expert lawyer team can help you review whether your Muslim Will is valid or not.

 

In accordance with the Succession Act 1925, when a person dies, A Succession Certificate is required to be taken from the Court of Law in order to transfer the assets / movable property of the deceased among the legal heirs. In case of succession of property, all shares are distributed amongst the heirs of the deceased according to Islamic laws. According to Islamic Laws, as there is no concept of Will for more than 1/3 of the property, the property of the deceased could not be bequeathed or transferred to one legal heir without the consent of other legal heirs.

 

The application for Succession Certificate can be filed by the legal heirs in court of law.

Divorce

According to Islam and law, a husband does not need any reason to divorce the wife but needs to follow the legal procedure of divorce in Pakistan in order to make the divorce effective. A copy of written ‘Talaq Nama’ should be sent to the wife and to the chairman of Arbitration council. Notices are sent by the arbitration council to both the parties. Efforts of reconciliation are made. Talaq or divorce becomes effective if no reconciliation takes place within ninety days, however, if the reconciliation between husband and wife takes place within 90 days, the talaq will be deemed to be ineffective. 

Khula

Islam has given the right to a wife to part her ways from a relationship through Khula but she cannot take khula without a reason. 

In order to get khula, the wife has to file a case in family court. The case for dissolution of marriage is filed by the wife in the court which issues notice to the husband.
