Our dedicated team of legal experts helps individuals and families handle succession procedures, whether the estate involves real estate, bank assets, or shares in Moroccan companies.
Succession and Inheritance Services for Foreigners in Morocco
Inheritance in Morocco is governed by a blend of Moroccan family law, Islamic inheritance rules (in some cases), and civil procedures for property transfer. For foreigners, or Moroccan nationals residing abroad, the process can be confusing, especially when a will is drafted under a foreign legal system or in cases where no will exists at all.
At Legal Morocco, we assist heirs, foreign notaries, international law firms, and family members by providing a complete succession service, tailored to the legal context of each case.

We provide comprehensive support at every stage of the estate administration process:
- Legal representation before Moroccan courts and notarial authorities
- Verification and authentication of foreign wills and testaments
- Translation of legal documents into Arabic or French as required by Moroccan courts
- Coordination with Moroccan notaries (notaires) for property transfers
- Transfer of ownership of real estate through the Conservation Foncière (land registry)
