Inheritance Dispute Resolution Guide

Summary

In Bangladesh, inheritance for Muslims is governed by Sharia law, which dictates that sons receive twice the share of daughters. If parents are alive, they may also receive a share. Other heirs can include spouses, grandparents, and siblings. In cases where a sibling claims all property, it may be necessary to consult a lawyer specializing in inheritance disputes to ensure fair distribution according to the Quran. Legal proceedings can help address wrongful claims and ensure all siblings receive their rightful shares.

Hi Raiyan! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
My mom's parents left a lot of property to her brother's name. After her parents passed away, her brother claimed all the property and did not share it with any of their other * siblings. It has been going on this way for about a decade. But my mom and her sisters believe their brother is wrongfully claiming rights to the property as naturally the other siblings have their rights too as the properties are their parents’ hardwork
This could be a potential case for inheritance dispute. To provide more accurate information, could you please let me know the state or country where the property is located? This will help in understanding the relevant inheritance laws.

In Bangladesh, inheritance is governed by personal laws based on the religious affiliation of the deceased.
- Muslim Law: Property is divided according to Sharia law, which includes shares for all children.

- Succession Act for non-Muslims and non-Hindus.
I recommend consulting with a lawyer who specializes in inheritance disputes.
