Frequently Asked Questions

Under Islamic law, you can only bequeath up to 1/3 of your estate to non-heirs or charity. The remaining 2/3 is distributed to legal heirs per fixed shares (Faraid).
Is registration of will mandatory?
No, registration is optional in Pakistan. A will signed with witnesses is legally valid. Registration adds evidentiary value.
Can I disinherit an heir?
Under Islamic law, you cannot disinherit a legal heir from their fixed share (fard). The 1/3 bequest cannot be given to legal heirs under Sunni law.
Who can be a witness?
Preferably two adult Muslim male witnesses. They should not be beneficiaries of the will.
