Following through the transfer of property after a death in Lebanon: documents, sequence of steps, registration with the competent departments, and powers of attorney for heirs abroad.
Transfer to heirs
What the service is
Following through the property side of transferring ownership after a death: reviewing documents, organising property numbers and shares, establishing the steps required, and coordinating with the competent departments and with the lawyer or attorney-in-fact where needed.
A defined scopeWhat is handled directly and what goes through a lawyer or an authority, settled before starting.
The file is reviewed firstWhat is missing, and what the steps are and in what order, before any commitment.

Who it is for
Who usually asks for it
Who arrives at this service, and what each of them needs from it.

An heir acting for the others
Under a power of attorney whose wording is settled once the transaction's needs are known.
Lawyers and attorneys-in-fact
Needing the property side of the file organised and followed through.
Families whose transfer was never done
The chain of ownership is documented first, then what each stage needs is established.
When
When you need it
The situations this kind of file is usually asked for in.
- 01
Straight after a death. Property stays registered in the deceased's name until the rights are moved.
- 02
When the estate file is organised. What the estate actually holds, where, and on what documents.
- 03
When the estate is divided. An estate holding more than one property is divided by value, not by counting.
- 04
Before selling an inherited property. A sale normally assumes the rights are registered in the heirs' names.
- 05
When the heirs are abroad. The file starts with a document review; the power of attorney is settled after it, not before.
Property types
The property this covers

Documents
Documents required
A reference list, not a precondition. Send what you have; what is missing is identified at review.
The inheritance certificate
The official document establishing who the heirs are and their shares.
The death certificate
The death certificate, from which an inheritance file starts.
Title extracts for the properties concerned
An extract from the Land Registry showing ownership and any registered charges.
The heirs' details
The heirs' names, standing and residence, and who acts for whom.
Powers of attorney
Any earlier documents relating to the property
Whatever the competent authority requires for the particular file
The outcome
What you receive
A transfer is not a valuation: it ends in rights registered in the heirs' names, not in a figure.
Anything requiring legal standing — drafting a contract, representing before a court, a dispute between heirs — is referred to a lawyer.
Tell me the property, the region and why the value is needed.
The file is reviewed first: documents required, scope of work, expected timeframe. No fee is quoted before that.
