Understanding Probate and Inheritance in Iran

Probate in Iran is the legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is distributed to their heirs. This process follows Islamic inheritance laws unless a valid will (wasiet) is present.

Islamic Law & Inheritance

Inheritance in Iran is governed by Islamic Sharia principles. Assets are divided among qualified heirs — including spouses, children, parents, and siblings — based on predetermined shares outlined in the law.

Will and Testament (Wasiet)

Iranian law allows for a will to be executed, which can modify the distribution of assets (up to one-third of the estate). A valid will helps simplify probate and reduce family conflict.

The Probate Process

The legal steps include:

  • Identifying heirs and legal documents

  • Assessing assets and debts

  • Filing a petition for inheritance verification (تصدیق انحصار وراثت)

  • Distributing assets according to Islamic law or will

Inheritance Disputes

Conflicts may arise over the validity of a will, identification of heirs, or division of assets. Our team offers expert representation in Iranian courts or via settlement strategies.
