Inheritance and Succession Laws of Pakistan
While Pakistan’s constitution grants women property rights, many female heirs are deprived of their inheritance due to cultural factors, lack of knowledge and lengthy legal processes. Furthermore, women living in rural areas often cannot access justice to pursue their claims.
The Succession Act 1925 details how property should be divided among a deceased’s legal heirs after death, both movable and immovable assets being included; such as cash, gold and vehicles as movable assets while immovable ones like land or buildings will likely fall under Immovability Laws. A legal heir may submit their request with documentation such as death certificates and bank statements to start this process of transfer ownership at court.
Suits for declaration are civil cases brought before a court to request specific legal actions, usually property inheritance cases. A judge will then review your case to decide if it meets certain criteria – timely action and substantive evidence among others. They can be filed anywhere in Pakistan and are often sought as remedies against parties with improper claims on property they inherit.
