Cambodia Inheritance Lawyers

Cambodia Inheritance Lawyers
Our team at Khmer Legal are experienced in assisting foreign nationals and their families with inheritance and estate related issues. Navigating local Cambodian inheritance laws and processes can be especially complex when concerning international inheritance and foreign non-Cambodian citizens.
Our team is experienced with international Inheritance and the implementation of international inheritance laws in Cambodia. If a overseas court has already issued a probate or inheritance-related judgment for a foreign national living in or with assets in Cambodia may apply for recognition of that decision in the Cambodian courts. However all this is subject to Cambodian law and requires the court approvals.
Probate Assistance
Probate proceedings in Cambodia are conducted in Khmer and any documentation must comply with Cambodian law before being presented to the Cambodian courts for recognition. We start by translating foreign wills and navigating the Cambodian court systems to coordinate the probate proceedings.
Probate often brings disputes especially in cases involving foreign nationals in Cambodia. Our legal team can help mediate any conflicts and propose fair solutions and if necessary represent our clients in court to protect their inheritance.
Property Inheritance in Cambodia
Property inheritance in Cambodia involves various legal complexities depending on the type of property and heirs. Restrictions on foreign land ownership can also add additional complexities.
If a foreign national inherits property from a Cambodian spouse they may face fewer legal issues since the property can remain in the spouses name or be structured for shared use.
Foreign heirs who are not Cambodian citizens, often being children of foreign nationals living in Cambodia may need to sell the inherited property or convert the ownership structure.
