Malaysian Inheritance Regulations

In the realm of inheritance distribution in Malaysia, an intricate web of legal nuances and Sharia law intricacies come into play. Dealing with this complex process requires a deep comprehension of the legal landscape and an astute understanding of the principles of Sharia law that govern inheritance matters within the country.

In inheritance law, once a letter of administration has been obtained and an administrator has been appointed, inheritance are distributed in the following manner according to the following circumstances in Malaysia

Note that in inheritance cases, while the parents, spouse and children are entitled to inheritance of their deceased, the Malaysian Shariah law restricts direct involvement of females/Women in such circumstances to be presented as a beneficiary to inheritance cases. Therefore, in the procedure of inheritance cases, if the only surviving party is a woman or lady, the law requires the woman or lady to present a male/man next-of-kin or beneficiary for the inheritance case. Furthermore, according to Shariah law the male beneficiary or next-of-kin is automatically entitled to 80% of the inheritance. Therefore, as a professional lawfirm, we always advise our clients in this case to present a trusted male next-of-kin or beneficiary.
