It is standard practice that an individual should be represented by a Qatar licensed and registered lawyer as proceedings will be done according to the rules and regulations of Qatar. We are a law firm that specializes in all Qatar law issues and Shariah law, with top lawyers who can navigate through the intricacies of the Qatar legal and judicial systems. Our expertise is solely based on Shariah Wills and Inheritance.

In Qatar's inheritance law, once a letter of administration has been obtained and an administrator has been appointed, inheritance are distributed in the following manner according to the following circumstances:

• 1. Survived Only by Parents: if the deceased is survived by only Parents, the parents will be the beneficiary of the inheritance.
• 2. Survived Only by Spouse: If the deceased is survived by Spouse, the spouse will be entitled to the inheritance.
• 3. Survived Only by Children/Grandchildren: Children/Grandchildren will be entitled to the inheritance and the inheritance are divided among children/grandchildren in equal shares.
• 4. Survived Only by Parents + Spouse:The inheritance will be divided accordingly between both parties ;- 1/2 Parents and 1/2 Spouse
• 5. Survived Only by Spouse + Children/Grandchildren:The inheritance is divided as follows; 1/3 Spouse, 2/3 Children/Grandchildren (to be divided among children/grandchildren in equal shares)
• 6. Survived Only by Parents + Spouse + Children/Grandchildren:The inheritance is divided as follows; 1/4 Parents, 1/4 Spouse, 1/2 Children/Grandchildren (to be divided among children/grandchildren in equal shares)

Note that in inheritance cases, while the parents, spouse and children are entitled to inheritance of their deceased, the Qatar Shariah law restricts direct involvement of females/Women in such circumstances to be presented as a beneficiary to inheritance cases. Therefore, in the procedure of inheritance cases, if the only surviving party is a woman or lady, the law requires the woman or lady to present a male/man next-of-kin or beneficiary for the inheritance case. Furthermore, according to Shariah law the male beneficiary or next-of-kin is automatically entitled to 80% of the inheritance. Therefore, as a professional lawfirm, we always advise our clients in this case to present a trusted male next-of-kin or beneficiary.
