What We Offer

Predetermined Shares

The Sharia-based system of Faraid ensures that close family members—such as spouses, children, and parents—are legally entitled to predetermined portions of the estate. This guarantees fairness and prevents any heir from being excluded.

Restrictions on Wills

Unlike countries where wills allow full freedom in distributing assets, Egyptian law only permits up to one-third of an estate to be disposed of through a will. The remaining two-thirds must follow the fixed shares mandated by law.

Special Rules for Non-Muslims (Copts)

For Coptic Christians and other non-Muslim communities, inheritance matters can take a different route. Where a valid will exists, there is often broader flexibility in how assets are distributed. In the absence of a will, succession may be determined either by civil law or by the rules of the relevant religious denomination.
