Property inheritance and closure of business without a will
PROPERTY INHERITANCE
Property Inheritance (without a will) and closure of business including recovery and debt payments.
I am an Indian. My husband, 44yrs, passed away on 11 Jan leaving behind a business (sole proprietor) that needs to be wound up and a house with a mortgage in his name.
The house is currently rented with a tenancy contract ending 31st March 2021.
Questions:
1) I want the ownership of the property. How do I do so without applying Sharia law?
2) Can we continue the tenancy contract till the title deed is transferred to my name?
Closure of business
My husband was running 2 garages under a PROFESSIONAL license as a sole proprietor with payables and receivables overdue; including employees, landlord, and suppliers as well as business loan and credit card debts, etc.
1. Will his liabilities affect my property ownership?
2. Can I get legal help to sell his business/legal license to pay employees and creditors with the help of his sponsor?
What are my rights?
As for a non-Muslim, your issue shall be solved by Personal law in UAE. There are procedures for the ownership of the property and your rights also need to be secured.
Therefore, you need to make a proper application and consult a lawyer for the same. The court can take into consideration your plea, however, it must be guided by the Law of UAE.
