Matters we handle there
Kénitra's industrial growth, with its business zones and automotive sites, generates employment law cases, workplace accidents and business-to-business contracts. Commercial disputes (unpaid debts, payment orders, companies in difficulty) are brought before the Commercial Court of Rabat. Families seek advice on divorce, inheritance and property, while claims against public bodies go to the Administrative Court of Rabat.
How a matter unfolds
- 1
Identification
We identify the heirs, the assets and the debts, and have the certificate of inheritance drawn up if necessary.
- 2
Status of the assets
We check the land titles, accounts and deeds to establish the exact legal status of each asset.

Amicable division
We propose a draft division in line with the legal shares and assist with the signing of the agreement between heirs.

Court-ordered division
If no agreement is reached, we go to court to obtain the division, the auction of an indivisible property or an account of income, and then follow enforcement.
Frequently asked questions
How is the estate divided when an heir lives abroad?
An heir living abroad can take part in the estate through a power of attorney executed at a Moroccan consulate or legalised under the applicable rules, or can be represented by a lawyer in court proceedings. Foreign documents may need translation and legalisation or an apostille. The firm coordinates these steps remotely to avoid unnecessary travel.
What are the steps of an inheritance in Morocco?
The process begins with the certificate of inheritance, drawn up by adouls on the basis of witness statements, which identifies the heirs. The assets are then listed, funeral costs, debts and any bequests are settled, and the remainder is divided according to the shares set by the Family Code. For registered properties, the heirs' rights are entered at the land registry.
