INHERITANCE DISPUTES
In Pakistan, property inheritance disputes indeed a complex and emotionally charged matters. When a person passes away, it is not uncommon for disagreements to arise among family members regarding the distribution or ownership of the deceased individual’s property.

Wills play a crucial role in inheritance disputes. A will is a legal document that outlines the deceased person’s wishes regarding the distribution of their property.
