👪 What Happens if Property Has Multiple Heirs?
Last Update 7 months ago
When a property owner dies without a will (intestate), the property is divided among legal heirs under Islamic inheritance laws.
Steps to Inherit:
- Obtain a Legal Heirship Certificate from the civil court
- Submit the certificate along with death certificate to the local revenue office
- Get the property mutated into the names of all heirs
Important Points:
- No heir can sell the entire property without written consent from all other legal heirs
- If one heir wants to buy out others, execute a formal gift deed or sale agreement
- Joint ownership must be disclosed in any resale attempt
Tip: Legal advice is strongly recommended in such cases to avoid family disputes or litigation.
