إجبار الورثة على بيع حصتهم الموروثة في الشركة

مرحبًا راجاسري،

إسمي أحمد أ. مقيم في كندا مع عائلتي.

توفى والدي منذ 8 سنوات في دبي. لديه جراج للسيارات بالشراكة مع شريك مواطن وأعمامي الإثنين، يمتلك أبي والشريك المواطن غالبية الأسهم بنسبة 24 ٪ و 51 ٪.

بعد وقت قصير من وفاة والدي، حصلنا على أوراق الميراث الخاصة بنا من محاكم دبي. لقد مرت 8 سنوات ولم نحصل حتى على فلس واحد من أعمامي. يضغطون علينا الآن لبيع أسهمنا بأقل من القيمة السوقية لها.

إنهم يعاملوننا بعدائية شديدة، ويهددوننا إذا لم نبيع فقد يتم إنهاء الرخصة التجارية. أنا طباخ هنا في كينجستون بأونتاريو.

من الصعب جدًا عليّ أن أترك كل شيء وأذهب لمتابعة الأمور في دبي. يرجى تقديم المشورة إذا ما كانت التهديدات صحيحة وهل يجب علي بيع أسهمي؟

إذا كان بإمكانك إرسال بريد إلكتروني فسيكون هذا مفيدًا جدًا.

شكرا لك،

أحمد،

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry.

If you, as the legal heirs of your late father and current shareholders of the company, wish to exit and your uncles' wish is to acquire such shares and cannot agree on a fair value for the company shares, you have the right to request an external auditor to review the company's past years of performance and evaluate the shares of the company.

If this is not enough and you are still in conflict, you may seek the help of the court to appoint an independent expert who would do the job assessing the current market value of the company.

Of course, such a process is rather costly and time-consuming. So, we would recommend you to try to find a middle ground between you and your uncles to have access to the books to qualify their assumption of the shares value.

At the same time, you should realize that reaching a legal conflict would rather complicate both the family and the business relationship, and since you are away you will be the most losing party.

I would suggest that you find an amicable solution and perhaps we can assist you in the withdrawal of the company process to try to control as much as we can to ensure you get the fair market value for your shares.

Best regards,

Ahmed Elnaggar

Mr. Elnaggar,

God bless your soul,

Thank you for taking some time out to answer my question, not a lot of people these days offer help.

I will start scanning all the paperwork I have from Dubai Courts. It's been 8 years and we have had not gotten a single penny from my uncle.

With respect, we had been avoiding the court route. But with recent threats from them asking us if we do not sell the shares at these desire price, they will ask the local partner to withdraw or I guess cancel the license altogether.

I don't understand how that can be possible, In Canada, I guess the laws are very different. Since I didn't grow up in Dubai, I don't have many contacts.

I will be happy to hire a lawyer to assist me. Since I don't have the means to fly back and forth to Dubai.

Can you please give me a rough idea on what cost I would be looking at if I approach the legal route.

Thank you

Ahmed Ali

Thanks for your message.

I will respond with more details to all your questions by email since it would be better to speak about confidential information in private.

Best regards,

Ahmed Elnaggar
