Legal Consultation & Dispute Guidance for Inheritance Matters in Lebanon

Inheritance matters in Lebanon are governed by Lebanese personal status laws and may involve legal, financial, and family considerations. Differences in interpretation, misunderstandings between heirs, or lack of clarity regarding rights, obligations, taxes, and procedural steps can often lead to delays or disputes.

Our Advisory & Mediation service is designed to provide legal clarity and structured guidance in Lebanese inheritance matters, helping heirs understand their legal position, explore available options, and, where possible, resolve issues through informed discussion rather than formal litigation.

This service focuses on explanation, prevention of conflict, and lawful resolution, in accordance with applicable Lebanese law.

Scope of Advisory & Mediation Services

Legal Consultations on Inheritance Matters
We provide legal consultations to explain how Lebanese inheritance law applies to a specific situation. This includes clarification of heirs’ rights, applicable personal status rules, procedural requirements, and the general legal framework governing the estate.

Mediation Between Heirs
Where disagreements arise, we assist in facilitating structured mediation between heirs. The objective is to support constructive dialogue, clarify legal realities, and help parties reach practical understandings or agreements, without replacing or prejudicing any formal legal rights.

Guidance on Inheritance Taxes & Fees
We provide general guidance on inheritance-related taxes, official fees, and administrative costs applicable under Lebanese law, including court fees, registration costs, and other procedural charges that may arise during estate settlement.

Free Initial Legal Assessment

Each matter begins with a first initial legal assessment provided free of charge.
During this assessment, we review the general situation, identify the relevant Lebanese legal framework, and explain the key legal and procedural considerations involved.

No mediation, legal consultation beyond the initial assessment, or further action is undertaken, and no fees are incurred, unless you expressly approve the next steps in writing.

Our objective is to provide clarity, lawful guidance, and a structured understanding of inheritance matters, allowing families to make informed decisions at an early stage.
