Defined asset population
Review the asset and location list, available records and inclusions, and identify items needing another competence or procedure.
Documented professional values for estate assets
Inheritance and Estate Asset Valuation
We value real estate, machinery, equipment and other eligible estate assets to provide a professional opinion of value at a specified date. The report supports heirs, authorised representatives and advisers in documenting values and considering settlement, sale or retention, without replacing the legal or Sharia processes that determine beneficiaries and shares.
Scope of estate asset valuation
The scope is defined around the requesting party's authority, report purpose, effective date, asset list, and relevant rights and restrictions. The valuer does not identify heirs, allocate shares or give legal advice; the engagement provides a professional opinion of value within the agreed scope.
Clear date and purpose
Establish the effective date, purpose, intended users and basis of value before inspection and analysis.
Reviewable reporting
Document the asset, evidence, assumptions, methods, calculations, conclusion and material limitations.
Asset types the valuation may cover
Eligibility depends on documentation, inspection access and the appropriate professional branch. A diverse portfolio may be divided into more than one report.
- Land, villas, apartments and residential buildings.
- Offices, retail units, warehouses and income-producing property.
- Farms, undeveloped land and real estate development projects.
- Factories, production lines, machinery and equipment.
- Vehicles and eligible movable assets within the Machinery and Equipment branch.
- Multi-asset or multi-location portfolios after the list and data are structured.

Complete quality review and issue a report explaining scope, conclusions, assumptions and limitations.
Required documents and information
- Evidence of the requesting party's authority or appropriate formal authorisation for the engagement.
- An initial asset register stating type, location, reference and occupancy or operating status.
- Available title deeds, plans, permits, contracts and restrictions for real estate.
- Machinery and equipment lists with specifications, identifiers, condition and year where available.
- Relevant leases, income, expenditure and operating data required for the purpose.
- Earlier reports and known disputes, rights or obligations that may affect the asset or scope.
Indicative timing, not a guarantee: we set an estimated schedule after receiving the complete asset list and documents and understanding the number of locations, inspection access, purpose and effective date. Timing may change if additional assets emerge, records are incomplete, a site is inaccessible or further verification is required.
Valuation deliverables
- A valuation report stating purpose, intended users, effective date, basis of value and scope.
- Description of the assets, ownership, locations, condition and material available information.
- Approaches and methods applied, reasons for selection and evidence sources.
- Material assumptions, special assumptions, limitations and exclusions.
- An opinion of value for included assets individually or in agreed groupings.
- Appropriate appendices, photographs and reference schedules for the engagement and available data.
Frequently asked questions about estate valuation
Does the valuation determine each heir's share?
No. The report provides a professional opinion of value for included assets at a specified date and does not identify heirs or determine Sharia or legal shares. The relevant authorities and advisers handle beneficiary, division and settlement procedures.
Which estate assets can be valued?
The scope may include land, buildings, units and income-producing property, as well as eligible machinery, equipment, production lines and movable assets, after confirming the appropriate professional branch, records and inspection access.
Which documents are needed to start?
We usually need evidence of the requesting party's authority, an asset list, ownership and location records, and relevant contracts and financial or operating data. The final requirements are set after reviewing the request and asset types.
How long does an estate valuation take?
There is no standard or guaranteed duration. We provide an estimated schedule after complete documents are received and the number of assets, locations and inspection access are confirmed. Missing information or scope changes may alter it.
Must every property and item of equipment be accessible?
Field inspection is normally required to the extent appropriate for the asset and purpose. If an asset is inaccessible, we assess the effect before accepting the work or clearly state an appropriate limitation and assumption within a professionally acceptable scope.
