Frequently asked questions
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.
Can an heir refuse the division?
No one can be forced to remain in joint ownership: any heir can ask the court for a division when the others refuse to agree. If a property cannot be divided in kind without losing value, the court can order its sale at auction and the distribution of the price. An heir who alone occupies a shared property may also be required to account to the others.
