Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning
Planning for the time of your passing can seem a daunting and somewhat disheartening task. However, careful estate planning allows you to provide for your loved ones long into the future. An Estate Plan is a legally written document that explains how you want your assets divided upon your death. LISORBIS will draft and devise your estate plan in accordance with your wishes. The preparation of your last Will, Testament, Power of Attorney or Living Will represents an important step in the management of your family’s financial and legal affairs. People often do not leave clear instructions of how their assets are to be dealt with after they have passed away. This inevitably causes undesirable and unintended disputes and consequences among family members. A decedent who dies without a will or an estate plan takes the risk that their property will not be distributed in a way in which they choose. Rather, they leave it up to the Court to decide how the property should be divided.
The law relating to such matters is complex and expert guidance in the relevant common law and Shariah Law is essential to resolve these disputes promptly and justly. It is never too early to start discussing who your assets will belong to in case of your departure. Call us and start making sure your family will be protected from this moment on.
