Succession Certificates, Letters of Administration & Estate Partition
Securing Judicial Letters of Administration, Succession Certificates, and filing Suits for Partition (Dawa Taqseem) for Overseas Pakistanis. Safeguarding your lawful Shariah inheritance shares in real estate, bank deposits, and family businesses without requiring travel.
Securing Lawful Shariah Inheritance Rights for Non-Resident Heirs
Following the demise of a family patriarch or matriarch in Pakistan, overseas legal heirs frequently find themselves excluded from their rightful inheritance shares. Local relatives may exploit physical absence by refusing to liquidate joint properties, withholding rental yields, fabricating bogus gift deeds (Hiba-nama), or obtaining ex-parte succession certificates by fraudulently concealing the names of overseas brothers, sisters, or daughters.
Governed by the Succession Act, 1925, the Sindh Letters of Administration and Succession Certificates Act, 2021, and the Partition Act, 1893, establishing clear legal title to ancestral movable and immovable holdings requires formal judicial intervention.
Naich Law Firm represents overseas heirs before District Courts, Civil Courts, and appellate forums. We obtain comprehensive Letters of Administration for multi-property estates, coordinate remote consular witness statements and video-link verifications, and institute Suits for Partition (Dawa Taqseem) to legally compel the division, physical separation, or market auction of joint family real estate.

Succession & Partition Guidance
While NADRA issues administrative succession certificates for uncontested matters involving straightforward bank balances, you must approach the District Judge / Civil Court if: 1) Any legal heir disputes or refuses to give biometric consent; 2) The estate involves immovable real estate (plots, commercial buildings, agricultural land) requiring Letters of Administration; 3) A legal heir resides abroad without NADRA biometric access; 4) There is an alleged will, disputed gift deed (Hiba), or missing heir.

Strict Islamic Distribution
Under Pakistani law and Muslim Personal Law, female heirs (daughters, mothers, widows, sisters) possess immutable rights. Any agreement or affidavit waiving inheritance under pressure can be successfully challenged and declared void by the court.
