Islamic Estate Planning

A legally binding document designed to distribute an individual’s estate in accordance with Islamic Law while remaining enforceable under civil law. Beyond asset distribution, fulfilling zakat and other obligations, the document formally designates guardians for minor children. It provides essential instructions for funeral rites and the settlement of religious and financial obligations.

An Islamic Living Trust allows you to manage and protect your assets during your lifetime while ensuring seamless distribution upon death without the delays of probate. By integrating religious obligations—such as Zakat, charity and funeral expenses—with civil estate planning benefits, a Living Trust offers a sophisticated way to maintain privacy, reduce tax liabilities, and ensure your financial legacy remains entirely Halal.

A Power of Attorney for Incapacity designates a trusted representative to manage your financial and healthcare decisions should you become unable to do so yourself. By establishing this document in advance, you ensure your affairs are handled with religious and financial integrity, providing your family with clear direction and avoiding the need for stressful, public court-appointed guardianship.

An Islamic Healthcare Power of Attorney (Healthcare Proxy)authorizes a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become mentally or physically incapacitated. This document instructs your agent explicitly to ensure that all clinical treatments, end-of-life care, and palliative measures align with Islamic bioethics. It provides your family and physicians with clear, Islamic-compliant guidance, ensuring your physical care reflects your spiritual convictions when you can no longer speak for yourself.

AnIslamic Advance Directive is a comprehensive legal instrument that combines a living will with specific religious instructions to guide your medical care during terminal illness or permanent unconsciousness. This document ensures that all end-of-life decisions—such as the withdrawal of life support, pain management, and organ donation—are executed in strict accordance with Islamic bioethics and the preservation of human dignity. 

Islamic Funeral Instructions are a formal declaration ensuring your end-of-life rites—including Ghusl (washing), Kafan (shrouding), and Janazah (prayer)—strictly follow the Sunnah. By legally documenting these requirements and prohibiting non-compliant practices like cremation, you guarantee your religious obligations are met while providing your family with clear, stress-free guidance during a time of grief.
