Why do I need a Last Will and Testament? | Islamic Estate Planning Guide
You need a Will so that:
• You—not a court—decide who get your assets and ensure they are divided according to Islam.
• You—not a court—decide who cares for your children.
• You—not a court—decide who manages the financial affairs of your minor children.
• You—not a court—decide who manages the affairs of your estate.
• You—not a court—decide your burial rites.
