A family member died while working in Saudi Arabia — how do heirs claim dues?

Heirs in Pakistan often need to claim end-of-service benefits and other dues from a Saudi employer. The Jeddah consulate's community welfare guidance says a power of attorney for this must be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Pakistan and by the Saudi Embassy in Islamabad. A succession certificate or NADRA family registration certificate is usually needed to prove who the heirs are — we prepare both.

What Karachi matters do clients in Saudi Arabia usually bring?

• •Plots and flats bought in instalments — delayed possession, cancellation and refund disputes
• •Building or renovating a family house through a relative or contractor
• •Illegal occupation of a plot or house while the owner is abroad
• •Inheritance and succession certificates after a parent's death
• •Khula, maintenance and custody cases

Saudi Arabia is two hours behind Pakistan, so same-day calls are easy. Where a court needs you in person, we try to schedule that hearing during your annual leave.
