“Can Pakistanis residing abroad transfer their Karachi property?”
Introduction: Hi Pakistanis! Welcome back to Legal Shark Law’s neighborhood news update. Karachi’s got its fair share of challenges – and one of those we’re hearing more and more questions about is transferring inherited properties in this city… as a diaspore or living anywhere outside Pakistan, how do you even approach this? Can your Pakistani relatives or ancestors convey their home to you overseas without legal troubles? Our case study today focuses on precisely this, to provide you a clear understanding about the ins and outs of transferring properties internationally. And, as always, our expert team is here for any questions you might have! Let’s dive into what the case study means for the law of Karachi and beyond, with expert lawyers on board like myself, Sajjad Sultani, who specialize in property law and cross-border transactions at our local offices. As many of our valued diaspore readings know well, property inheritance in Pakistan works differently compared to how these matters play out internationally. In some regions and countries around the globe – for Pakistanis it is common law to automatically assume that when someone passes on a land or building to a relative or even their executor, those parties have full power of lawful disposal of the entire property. That’s known as ‘automatic vesting’ – as an ‘ownership by the survivor.
Can Pakistanis inherit properties in Karachi from overseas Pakistanis?
My First-Person account – This whole scenario brought a plethora of complexities to the legal realm of overseas Pakistanis – especially considering they have inherited properties here they could possibly not fully have access to – for some very real and compelling reasons – even when they may have ‘officially received this legal paper,’. As much as you might think the answer to this in the case- studies is simple as it may appear to some overseas pk diaspora community members at a high level: the answer doesn’t matter as much, as we don’t understand if your land could also be seized, sold off as well and in turn if those proceeds are going to an Islamic endowment foundation such as Wakaf in Karachi – or other institutions and parties involved such as banks and credit lenders. The situation was a bit complicated as a local Pakistan lawyer to assist us overseas clients in dealing to navigate such a convoluted issue and its potential consequences on legal matters pertaining to their family wealths and properties that they had acquired overseas with goodwill to secure in Karachi and Pakistan and were excited about finally establishing their connections in the home country after leaving for quite an extensive exile journey to find comfort in knowing ‘if it will ever happen?
Yes, overseas Pakistanis can transfer inherited property in Karachi.
As any experienced lawyer knows the rules concerning successions to landownership of foreign assets by a person hailing from Karachi or another province could be very complex as a rule and not as straightforward as most Pakistanis wish to imagine (at times) as our experience of helping overseas lawyers navigate such a complicated maze has taught us quite an abundance of lessons about various obstacles and difficulties of transiting these assets with legal rights and ownership. However, even amidst visite site complicating landscape the laws, regulations, and jurisdictions governing such a subject are very fluid which mean they can drastically change depending on a whole host of various circumstances including but are not limited to political changes, new policies implemented, court rulings or legal judgments in which certain jurisdictional norms are challenged and modified. In fact, if I were the sort of risk-taker person I can’t admit in front of such a high risk, it might have taken only one trip outside Karachi for me to be completely convinced and disenchanted with legal affairs pertaining to inheritance.

Legal Transfer of Inherited Properties in Karachi.
Why you hate / Why you love this article topic? I am not one to openly profess my hates – well, except when they are about certain aspects in society like racism; that takes some courage =p, lol, jks ky jokis sass – I have noticed people often ask me about transfers of owned properties in Karachi by Pakistanis living abroad; my heart swells =). Not just property transfers, but also dispute settlement or litigation related to property and inheritance as well =). You know these Pakistanis living over seas have left back their families and beloved property; it seems they feel a responsibility to protect this heritage from misuse, destruction or falling into bad hands while abroad; or to make a provision for them in times of hardships or emergencies and so they have transferred it or will make provisions =)! Now, while we do agree it is quite admirable =), one should remember that not everything from back home has all the roses on it; things can get tough, and things often look glowing through rose colored glass (okay, sorry to put things this harsh); things may also have many legal or political hurdles (this applies more than ever during my time); one must take into account these difficulties before going through with anything, especially when a transfer is being considered!
Yes, inherited property can be transferred in Karachi by an overseas Pakistani under certain conditions.
As someone involved in the field of law with over decade of experience under my belts (no kidding – I wish you’d have some good material as old as this lol; but seriously, 11 years); and representing my esteemed Pakistan through the course of my practice; the first case of interest to me is about inheritance. Yes, that’s what people always associate lawyers with and they see us on all sorts of ads, even here at our firm’s, where we don’t just take on anybody who comes walking through the door or calls us off our phones without knowing much! In all seriousness, there isn’t a problem where lawyers wouldn’t feel qualified. So I took in the topic of our current case from Karachi, which centers on an overseas Pakistani inheriting a land parcel located within the city; in this case; their deceased brother leaves them with the rights, titles deeds and land under his name. But the big question comes with transferring this inheritance overseas: Can the Pakistani overseas owner legally do this given Pakistan is over 16 hours in flight; visit this website too with all their bureaucracy; all the complications and political turmoil? Let’s dig in more with our story.
