Endowments, Wills & Family Businesses

We establish endowments (awqaf), draft their deeds and arrange their supervision; handle wills and estate division; and structure family-business governance through a family charter that separates ownership from management before disputes arise.

Scope

Timing

When to call us

  1. You wish to endow a property or a company share and need a deed that fixes the disbursements and supervision and does not stall after you.

  2. The family business is passing to the second generation and no charter defines who manages and who owns.

  3. An estate includes commercial assets and the heirs need a division that does not halt the business.
