Iranian Death Certificate & Probate Services – Legal Help from Abroad

Losing a loved one is difficult. When the deceased was connected to Iran, managing the legal aspects — such as obtaining a death certificate and handling the probate process — can be especially overwhelming from abroad.

Our legal team helps clients in the U.S., Canada, and Europe handle all stages of Iranian estate administration, from requesting official documents to ensuring the fair distribution of assets according to Islamic and statutory law.

Understanding the Probate Process in Iran

The probate process ensures that a deceased person's estate is distributed properly. Iranian probate includes:

1. Identifying Assets and Debts

The executor must take inventory of properties, bank accounts, loans, and liabilities.

2. Notifying Heirs

All legal heirs must be informed and documented. The process typically requires submission of family records (شناسنامه) and inheritance confirmation (تصدیق انحصار وراثت).

3. Probate Court Oversight

The court may intervene to resolve disputes or verify the will (if available). It also issues final authorization for estate distribution.

4. Distribution of Estate

Once debts are cleared, remaining assets are distributed according to Islamic inheritance shares — unless a valid وصیت‌نامه (will) dictates otherwise.
