Give Your Family the Gift of Clarity
Too many families have ended up fighting and arguing over inheritance issues. My service allows you to understand what you can do now to avoid conflict, reduce taxes, and preserve what you've built. Whether you have a family home to preserve or a multi-business empire to protect.
Resolve conflict now, protect what you have and create a plan to grow it.
You will get personalized support on developing your wills, trusts, and estate plan not only from a California law perspective but also according to Islamic law.
Comprehensive Estate Planning
Before you spend thousands to sit with an attorney, work with me to spend time clarifying your goal, understanding all your options and develop your plan.
I'll work with you to identify what you can take care of on your own and what must be down with a lawyer. I'll take time to explain how everything works and what makes the most sense for your assets and family structure. We will discuss what Islamic law outlines and what you get to choose.
-
Wills & Pour Over Wills: Make sure your will follows both Islamic Law and California Law. Structure your will to avoid costly court supervised probate.
-
Living Revocable Trust: The most effective tool to save your family time and money- so you can pass more of your assets. This isn't only for the ultra wealthy it's for any family that wants to have a harmonious transfer of assets.
-
Power of Attorney: If you become incapacitated who can manage your affairs.
-
Health Care Directive: Feel secure knowing you've decided who can manage your care.
-
Beneficiary Designation: Many accounts can directly transfer to your heirs. Learn when to use this vs. a trust.
-
Tax Implications: Leaving your loved ones an inheritance should be a blessing not a tax burden. Review your options to reduce taxes.
-
Family Planning/Mediation: People often don't want to talk about what happens after death- let me support your family to have this important and sensitive conversations.

As salamu alaykum, I'm Zahra!
I'm a native of California and went to UCLA for undergrad followed by Syracuse Law School. I began my legal career in Minnesota where I ran my own Estate Planning practice and worked at CAIR-MN.
I know firsthand the stress, fear and challenges of deciding how to handle and distribute your estate. While Islam has a set formula for inheritance there are still many things that can be customized to your family.
This can cause confusion and conflict. This is where I come in as a guide to help you sort through all your options. Allowing you to not only create your plan but also feel good about it.
I'm honored to support you.
