The biggest challenges is to create awareness of the need for estate planning as many Muslims have the mistaken notion that they need not do anything as their assets will be distributed in accordance with faraid rules.

These valuable assets have been frozen and are counterproductive. Planning and managing wealth distribution play an important role to avoid assets from continuously remaining frozen. The accumulations of unclaimed properties inheritance have become a serious issue that needs to be solved immediately. Therefore, there is a need to take a drastic action to find a comprehensive solution and alternatives for solving this issue. Hence, an effective asset management and an efficient of estate planning towards property inheritance must be practiced wisely to ensure a smooth operation of the estate administration based on the principles and basic concepts that have been created as well as to the existing laws.
