Can my assets be distributed according to Sharia inheritance rules as well as Illinois State Law?
For Muslims living in Illinois, creating an estate plan that follows Islamic inheritance laws while complying with Illinois state law can feel like a challenge. Sharia law outlines specific rules for distributing wealth after death, including how much certain family members are entitled to receive, and without estate planning instruments, Illinois probate law does not comply with Islamic standards.
However, with careful planning, it is possible to structure an estate plan that honors your faith while still meeting Illinois legal requirements. Experienced Illinois estate planning attorney for Muslims, Alex Ranjha, can guide you through balancing the legal system.
What Documents Can We Prepare?
Foundational Documents
A Will
Sharia Law Compliance
Financial Power Of Attorney
Medical Power Of Attorney
A Living Will (also called an Advanced Directive)
Living Trusts
Irrevocable Trusts and Revocable Trusts

Transfer On Death Instrument
Also called a “Beneficiaries Deed” You name the beneficiaries that will receive any real estate property upon your death. A beneficiaries deed is paired with your living will. This is a great method for avoiding probate and transferring real estate without a trust. Always consult your estate planning attorney.
