Why Estate Planning Matters

Estate planning is not just about wealth distribution—it is a religious duty in Islam. The Quran prescribes clear inheritance rules (Fara'id), ensuring fairness and protection for heirs. Without proper planning, your estate may be distributed according to state laws, which could contradict Islamic guidelines.

By proactively planning your estate, you:
✅ Ensure your wealth is distributed in accordance with Islamic law.
✅ Prevent legal disputes among heirs.
✅ Protect your family’s financial security.
✅ Reduce tax burdens and avoid unnecessary probate costs.

At Bandukra Law, we ensure that your estate plan upholds Islamic values while navigating the complexities of U.S. estate law.

Why Not a Boxed Islamic Will?

Online will templates and AI-generated estate plans may seem convenient, but they often lead to costly mistakes. A will alone won't avoid probate, which can take months or years and drain thousands in court fees—far more than hiring an attorney upfront.

DIY trusts often fail because they aren’t properly set up or funded, leaving assets exposed to probate. State laws, family situations, and asset structures are unique—a one-size-fits-all template can't protect your legacy.

An estate planning attorney ensures your plan is legally sound, avoids probate, and truly safeguards your family's future.
