Package 07
A will that the law will actually honour, and a succession that the company can live through.
Instructed for
Families, business owners, and overseas Pakistanis who need ownership, control, and inheritance to survive a death or an incapacity without fracturing the estate or the company.
01
Drafting of wills for Muslims and non-Muslims under the personal law that actually governs the estate. For Muslims, a wasiyat may dispose of up to one-third of the surplus after funeral expenses and debts; a bequest to an heir generally requires the consent of the remaining heirs. The two-thirds residue passes by Faraid under the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1962. We will not draft a document that pretends otherwise.
02
Hiba and other lifetime transfers structured so that declaration, acceptance, and delivery of possession are capable of proof — and registered where the Registration Act, 1908 and the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 require it. Devices whose only purpose is to defeat forced heirship are declined.
03
Shareholder agreements, family constitutions, buy-sell mechanics, and staged transfers of control so that a death or a retirement does not freeze the board, the bank mandates, or the statutory registers. Ownership, governance, and day-to-day authority are written as three different things.
04
Letters of administration and succession certificates — through NADRA’s Succession Facilitation Unit where the estate is undisputed under the Letters of Administration and Succession Certificates Act, 2020, or through the civil court under the Succession Act, 1925 where it is not. Mutation of immovable property, collection of movable assets, and coordination of Pakistani and foreign wills for overseas families, including powers of attorney that will actually be accepted by a registrar or a bank.
