Description

Estate Planning for the Muslim Client Yaser Ali ISBN 9781641053266

Estate planning is not solely about transferring wealth from one generation to the next. For many clients, a truly effective plan must also reflect deeply held values, convictions, and religious beliefs. In fact, the desire to preserve and pass on faith-based principles and traditions can be just as important—if not more so—than the distribution of assets.

Estate Planning for the Muslim Client offers estate-planning practitioners practical guidance for advising clients who wish to honor Islamic principles while navigating the legal and practical realities of life in the United States. The authors provide clear insights into religious obligations, highlight common planning challenges, and identify opportunities to craft thoughtful, compliant, and customized estate plans.

Key topics include:

• Working with Muslim clients and understanding the foundational principles of their faith

• Ethical, legal, and public policy considerations

• Lifetime estate planning strategies

• Planning for incapacity and end-of-life issues

• Disposition of property at death in accordance with Islamic principles

• Drafting estate planning documents, including sample forms

• Planning for clients with international assets or family members abroad

This guide equips practitioners with the knowledge and tools needed to deliver culturally informed, legally sound estate plans that respect both faith and function.
