Document background
The Deed of Sale of Inherited Property is a critical legal instrument used in Saudi Arabia when heirs wish to sell property they have inherited from a deceased person. This document is essential in situations where multiple inheritors need to collectively transfer their inherited property rights to a new owner. It must comply with both Islamic inheritance principles (Mirath) and Saudi Arabian property laws, requiring careful documentation of inheritance rights, property details, and transfer conditions. The deed includes provisions for establishing the legitimate inheritance status of all sellers, detailed property descriptions, sale terms, and necessary governmental and religious approvals. This document type is particularly important in the Saudi Arabian context, where property transactions involving inherited assets must demonstrate compliance with both religious and civil law requirements.
