Frequently Asked Questions – Inherited & Property Matters in Pakistan

🔹 Inherited Property & Co-Sharer Rights

Q1: What are the rights of co-sharers or co-owners after the death of parents?
All legal heirs automatically become co-owners in the inherited property according to Islamic law and Pakistani law. No single heir can exclusively occupy, sell, or transfer the entire property without consent of others.

Q2: How is inherited property divided under Islamic law?
Property is divided according to Quranic shares (Farāʾid). Shares differ depending on whether the deceased left a spouse, sons, daughters, or parents.

Q3: What are the specific shares under Islamic law?
Generally:

• A son receives double the share of a daughter.

• A widow receives 1/8 (if children exist).

• A widower receives 1/4 (if children exist).

• Shares vary depending on family structure.

Q4: Can a son sell inherited property without consent of other heirs?
No. A co-sharer can only sell his own undivided share, not the entire property without consent of all legal heirs.

Q5: My brother is denying my share as a daughter. What can I do?
A daughter has a legal and Islamic right in her father’s property. She may file a suit for declaration, partition, and possession through court.

Q6: My parents secretly gifted property to one sibling before death. Can it be challenged?
Yes. A gift deed can be challenged if it was obtained through fraud, coercion, undue influence, or without possession being transferred.

Q7: My brother transferred inherited property without informing us. What should I do?
You may file a suit for declaration and cancellation of mutation and seek a stay order.

Q8: My brother is living in the inherited house and not sharing rent. What remedy do I have?
You may file a partition suit and claim mesne profits (rent compensation).

Q9: My brother sold the entire inherited property without consent. How can we stop it?
Immediately file a civil suit for cancellation and obtain a stay injunction to stop further transfer.

Q10: I am an overseas Pakistani and my property is grabbed. What should I do?
You may appoint a special attorney and file civil proceedings for recovery, possession, and injunction.

Q11: How can property disputes among siblings be resolved?
Through family settlement, mediation, or by filing a partition and declaration suit in civil court.

Yes, through a registered gift deed (Hiba) with proper acceptance and possession.

Q16: How can I transfer ownership to my wife?
Through a registered gift deed or sale deed.

Q17: How do I transfer assets to my son or daughter?
You may execute a gift deed during lifetime or distribute through inheritance after death.

Q18: Can a daughter claim her father’s property?
Yes. A daughter is a legal heir under Islamic and Pakistani law.

Q19: How can I transfer my property share while living abroad?
Through a registered Special Power of Attorney executed abroad and attested by Pakistani Embassy.

Q20: What is Section 145 CrPC?
Section 145 of the Criminal Procedure Code deals with disputes concerning possession of immovable property likely to cause breach of peace.

Q21: How can I remove a stay order on my property?
By filing an application for vacation of stay and contesting the injunction in court.

Q22: What is a Succession Certificate?
A legal document issued by court authorizing legal heirs to collect movable assets (bank accounts, shares, etc.) of the deceased.

Q24: How can I obtain a Succession Certificate in Pakistan?

• Death certificate

• Legal heir certificate
