Wills

A person makes a last Will and testament to provide for the administration and distribution of his assets among his Beneficiaries upon his death. It is advisable to engage a lawyer to draft your last Will and testament to ensure compliance with the Wills Act and Wills law.

As L'Avocat Law does not practice Islamic law, we cannot draft Shariah compliant wills for Muslims.
