Can I manage property in Palestine, Jordan or Syria while living in the USA?
For most matters, yes. Registration, transfers, inheritance division and routine oversight can generally be handled through a power of attorney legalized for use in the relevant country, with vetted professionals acting on the ground and one point of contact reporting to you here. A few steps can require you to attend in person; if your matter involves one, we tell you at the start.
How can I find out who the property is registered to?
The starting point is the official land registry record for the property, not a family account or an old photocopy. With the location details and whatever documents you have — a deed, a parcel number, the registered owner's name — the current record can usually be checked. It shows what is registered and in whose name, and that answer decides everything that follows.
The land is still registered in my late father's name. What now?
That is very common. Before the property can be divided, transferred or sold, the heirs generally have to be established by an inheritance certificate from the competent court, and the transfer to the heirs then registered. Our inheritance guide walks through the sequence.
What if family members disagree about the property?
Disagreement between heirs is one of the most common reasons property sits unresolved for years. Often the most useful first step is establishing the facts — what is registered, who the heirs are, what each share is — because many disputes rest on different assumptions. Where agreement is possible, it can be documented properly; where it is not, the matter may go to court through a licensed local attorney. We coordinate either route and keep you informed.
What happens when heirs live in different countries?
Each heir who needs to sign, consent or give up a share usually has to do so from where they live, and each document has to be legalized for use in the country where the property is. The hard part is coordination: getting the right documents from several countries, in the right form, at the same time. That is a large part of what we manage.
