Why so many families get caught out
Islamic inheritance law (faraid) is clear and exact. The problem is that few of us know exactly how it would work out for our own family.
Three things to know:
It applies on its own.
You don't have to ask for it. Writing a will doesn't switch it off.
It follows who is alive.
The shares are set by family relationships, however much each person needs.
Different things follow different rules.
Bank accounts, CPF, insurance and your home are each treated in their own way.
When families don't know this, three things tend to happen:
Money gets stuck.
Accounts stay locked while the family waits for paperwork.
A court decides.
Who looks after the children. Who handles the money.
People argue.
Over wishes that were only ever spoken, never written down.
Islamic law is precise. What hurts families is finding out too late.
By the end, you'll be able to answer every question above
- What each person in a family gets under faraid, and why
- What happens to your bank accounts, CPF, insurance and home
- What a will can and can't do under Islamic law
- How to look after your children, and their money
- How to put your wishes in writing so they're followed
- What to do if you or a parent can't make decisions one day
- A simple order for what to do first
