ESTATE PLANNING MANAGEMENT

What is WILL?

In term of language means ordering, advising, promising or giving after death in a document.

  • WILL is a person’s lifetime commitment to his or her estate to be executed after his or her death for the purpose of a charity authorized under SYARIAH LAW.

Why should we need WILL?

  • Easily get him a warrant or an administrator. Therefore, all Muslims who have assets are proposed to make a will, and it can be mentioned in the will that he gives all the inheritance to his heirs according to ISLAMIC LAW.

If we die without a letter of inheritance, then the heirs will have a lot of problems managing the estate.

Also, avoiding family conflicts rather than having the will of ther process distrubiting property is a bit tricky.

Is it true that no assets means we’re not required to prepare a WILL?

  • The WILL is not just an order for the distribution of property. However, it is also an order to appoint WASI to his estate. If the owner of the property is in debt, he is obligated to settle it and he is obliged to make a will.
  • In addition, the owner of the assets may also make an order to appoint any guardian to his minor, or specify that the assets held is not his and to be returned to the original owner. That is, any order that does not conflict with ISLAMIC LAW can be stated In the will document. If not,it will goes back to FARAID DISTRIBUTION.
