FAQs

Is executing a will sufficient for me?

It depends. A will is the most basic estate planning document, but it is not appropriate for all persons. Depending on your personal, familial and financial situation, a basic will may not be an appropriate estate plan for you and you may need to create trust agreements to manage your assets. In fact, executing only a basic will may do more harm than good if not created with the advice of sound legal counsel. By way of example, if you have a beneficiary who is receiving government assistance, a distribution made through a will without a special needs trust agreement may leave your beneficiary ineligible for further government assistance, resulting in the loss of a significant source of future income in the future. There are numerous other examples that may apply to your situation.

Can i make a gift to a charity in my will?

Yes, you can make a gift to a charitable organization in your will. The Islamic Law of inheritance allows you to bequeath up to 1/3 of your net assets to those charitable Islamic organizations and individuals that are not entitled to receive any share.

Are there differences between the Four Madhabs with respect to drafting Wills and Estate Plans?

The four Madhabs are generally in conformity with respect to the importance of creating an estate plan and on the rules of inheritance. Our scholars are educated and well-versed with respect to all four Madhabs. Alternatively, we are happy to work with a scholar you designate to review and approve your estate plan.

Can I modify it with Islamic Wills Trust?

You may revoke, renounce or modify an existing estate plan at any time by following certain formal procedures. We strongly recommend you schedule your free consultation with us to review your existing will or estate plan as soon as possible. Many attorneys, including us, will review your existing estate plan free of charge.

How can Islamic Wills Trust help me plan for disability?

Islamic Wills Trust also offers financial services and insurance services that can help protect you and your family in the instance where you become disabled or unable to attend to your financial matters for any other reason (traveling abroad, deportation, etc.). Islamic Wills Trust can draft a property power of attorney and a healthcare power of attorney, among other legal documents. Please see our page for more information.

More information can also be found on the FAQ page of our website.
