Questions & Answers
How can the heirs of a deceased person distribute his shares if there is a minor?
My father died recently. We are Muslim residents in Dubai. I have siblings including a minor who is 16 years old. My father has land and vehicles under his name.
If I am applying for inheritance, does the minor need to have a share in ALL the properties and vehicles or can she be given a particular property/vehicle?
Secondly, if we want the land to be in her name, and she manages it (like renting and bank), does it require an adult?
Can the vehicles be transferred to someone else’s name without including her?
Your guidance will be very much appreciated.
Hello,
You need to apply for inheritance certificate and then the court will specify the shares.

Dear Client,
Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
- The minor is entitled to a share in all the properties and vehicles as determined by Islamic inheritance laws, and her share cannot be excluded without the consent of all legal heirs.
- A minor cannot manage property independently, and property management typically requires an adult guardian.
- Vehicle transfers should follow UAE regulations, and it's generally not advisable to transfer them without considering legal and financial implications, especially if the minor is a legal heir.

Hello this is Nada
A case should be opened in the Sharia Court, and according to the regulations, the minor will have a share in all the properties.
The legal guardian of the minor can manage their properties, but only after court approval. We recommend hiring a lawyer to handle the case opening procedures and to liaise with the court.
if you have any further questions, feel free to contact me on the phone.
