Inheritance & Estate Cases in Jordan

Inheritance cases in Jordan are governed by Islamic Sharia (Hanafi school) as codified in the Jordanian Personal Status Law and the Civil Status Law. They are heard before Sharia Personal Status Courts.

The Office of Justice represents clients in:

• Estate inventory (Hasr al-Irth): establishing heirs officially before the court.
• Estate division: distributing real and movable assets.
• Contested wills & bequests.
• Missing heir or disputed heir cases.

Our office follows a precise methodology to protect heirs' rights:

• Inventory of all estate assets — real property, movables, and debts.
• Obtaining the official inheritance deed from the Sharia court.
• Registering heirs' shares with the Land Registry.
• Resolving disputes between heirs amicably or through court.

To claim your inheritance rights or to avoid estate disputes, contact the Office of Justice for a specialised consultation with Lawyer Dr. Omar Shehadeh.
