An Iranian lawyer for Iranians living abroad

Matters we handle for Iranians abroad

• Settling the estate of a family member and obtaining the documents heirs need
• Dividing inherited property between heirs and dealing with disagreements
• Buying, selling, leasing or managing property in Iran
• Family matters with a legal dimension in Iran
• Obtaining, correcting or registering personal and official documents

Each of these matters has its own procedure, and many involve several authorities. We take responsibility for the whole process and keep you informed at each step.

Inheritance

When a family member passes away in Iran, heirs abroad often face a sequence of formal steps before they can deal with the estate. These typically include establishing who the heirs are, identifying the assets, addressing any obligations and only then dividing or transferring property.

We guide heirs through that sequence, act for them before the relevant authorities, and help resolve disagreements between family members calmly and, where possible, without litigation. Where heirs live in different countries, we coordinate so that everyone signs the right documents in the right order.

Property

Owning property in Iran while living abroad raises practical questions: how to sell or lease it, how to check that title is in order, how to collect rent or deal with a tenant, and how to protect it from disputes. Acting under your power of attorney, we can handle the legal side of a transaction, review documents, attend the necessary formalities and make sure that what you sign and receive is correct.

Acting remotely, properly authorised

Almost all of this work can be done without you travelling to Iran. The key is a correctly drafted and executed power of attorney, which we prepare for you. See our page on power of attorney for Iran for how this works from abroad.

Keeping the family informed

Inheritance and property matters often involve several relatives, sometimes in different countries and with different priorities. We can report to one nominated family member or to all heirs, as you prefer, and we explain each step in terms that everyone can follow.

Where family members disagree, we look first for a practical solution that respects everyone's legal position. Litigation between relatives is sometimes unavoidable, but it is rarely the best first step, and our aim is to bring matters to a fair conclusion with as little friction as possible.
