Essential Elements of the Dispute
Estate Disclosure
Determining the full extent of the assets, funds, and rights belonging to the deceased.
Accountability of the Attorney-in-Fact
Reviewing transactions undertaken by the attorney-in-fact during the deceased’s lifet
Bank Account Records
Obtaining financial records capable of assisting in tracing the movement of estate funds.

Investigating properties that may not have been included in the earlier division.
Delivery of Documents
Seeking production of documents held by persons connected with the administration of the estate.
Inspection and Preservation of Evidence
Documenting the condition of certain assets where neglect or deterioration may affect their value.
Key Legal Challenges
Existing Final Judgments
Final judgments had already been issued in relation to parts of the estate, requiring careful separation between matters previously adjudicated and newly discovered issues.
Validity of the Power of Attorney
Establishing Misuse or Negligence Through Evidence
Historical Nature of Certain Transactions
Some of the transactions pre-dated the deceased’s death by a significant period, increasing the difficulty of tracing assets and financial movements.
Possible Existence of Undisclosed Assets
The matter required investigation into real estate, accounts, companies, and other assets not reflected in the original estate division.
Multiple Authorities
The legal work required engagement with the courts, the Saudi Central Bank, the Ministry of Commerce, notarial authorities, and other relevant bodies.
Protection of Asset Value
Urgent measures were required in relation to certain properties to prevent continuing deterioration or loss of market value.
Our Legal Strategy
Comprehensive Reassessment of the Estate
The estate, previous judgments, and available documentation were reviewed from the outset to identify unresolved issues.
Proceedings for Delivery of Documents
This route was used to obtain documentation necessary to investigate assets and transactions before advancing further claims.
Requests to Official Authorities
The legal team sought banking, commercial, and real estate information capable of identifying previously undisclosed assets and transactions.
Inspection and Preservation of Evidence
Urgent procedures were used where necessary to document the condition of assets exposed to deterioration or neglect.
Accounting Proceedings
A legal framework was developed to require the deceased’s attorney-in-fact to account for transactions requiring explanation or supporting evidence.
Reconsideration Where Legally Available
Petitions for reconsideration were prepared in relation to certain estate division matters where new facts or documents justified further judicial review.
Legal Services Provided
Legal Advice
Advising the heirs on estate rights, disclosure, and available procedural options.
Legal Study
Preparing a comprehensive legal assessment of the estate, prior transactions, and judgments.
Litigation and Advocacy

Accounting Claims
Preparing and pursuing claims relating to the accountability of the deceased’s attorney-in-fact.
Disclosure and Document Requests
Seeking financial, property, commercial, and documentary information relevant to the estate.
Urgent Measures
Assessing and pursuing inspection, preservation-of-evidence, and other procedures required to protect estate assets.
Legal Insight
The existence of a valid power of attorney does not necessarily prevent later review of the attorney-in-fact’s conduct or a request for an accounting where there is a proper legal basis to do so.Similarly, a previous estate division does not necessarily resolve issues concerning assets or rights that were not known, disclosed, or included in the original proceedings.In complex estate disputes, access to official banking, commercial, and real estate information can be essential to reconstructing the financial position of the estate and tracing transactions and assets over time.
