A Wasiat allows you to:
- Ensure the fulfilment of your amal jariah giving of up to one third (1/3) of your estate to non-Faraid heirs.
- Appoint someone you trust to carry out your wishes* and manage the administrative aspects (from collection of assets/liabilities, liaising with the land office to settlement of your taxes) of settling your estate. This helps streamline the probate process and ensures that your affairs are handled by someone you choose.
- Appoint a guardian for your minors, ensuring someone you trust cares for them when you're not around. This ensures that you have a say in who will be responsible for their upbringing and well-being.
*Subject to mutual agreement among Faraid heirs, except for allocation of assets up to 1/3 of your estate to non-Faraid heirs.
