What to know before you consult
- The certificate of heirs (rasm al-iratha) is the starting point: drawn up by two adouls on witness statements and approved by the notarial judge.
- A will cannot exceed one third of the estate without the heirs’ consent, and cannot benefit an heir.
- Registered property passes by entry at the land registry; co-ownership ends by amicable division or a partition action before the first-instance court.
- Our inheritance calculator gives the theoretical shares under the Moudawana; it does not replace the analysis of a real case (debts, bequests, assets abroad).
Frequently asked questions
How do I obtain the certificate of heirs in Meknes?
It is drawn up by two adouls of the Meknes district, based on the death certificate and the testimony of twelve witnesses who knew the family, then approved by the notarial judge. A lawyer checks that every heir, including those living abroad, is listed.
Can an inheritance division be challenged?
Yes. An amicable division tainted by error, fraud or the omission of an heir can be challenged before the first-instance court, and a judicial division can be appealed. Deadlines and evidence depend on the nature of the assets.
Do heirs living abroad have to come to Morocco?
Not necessarily: they can appoint a lawyer or a relative through a power of attorney drawn up at the consulate or legalised. Several Meknes lawyers handle these files remotely, especially for the diaspora.
