1- Protect your Identity: Don’t share your vital records such as Iranian birth certificate (shenasnameh) and Iranian passport (Gozarnameh) with others so innocently.
2- Protect your documentation: Don’t share deeds (sanad), Sale Contracts (Bonchagh), and other real estate information with others. Think of them as keys to a treasure box, don’t leave those keys with everyone you once knew when you were a kid.
3- Be pro-active with what your parents have left you. Your parental inheritances are their lifelong earnings. Respect it and remember how hard your loved ones have worked for it. Talk with an expert before losing it for a blind trust.
4- Obtain information from various sources on issues such as exact location of your inherited real estate in Iran, specifications of the land, zoning issues, and going price range in Touman not in US dollar. Call me to tell you why.
5- Independently investigate and verify, then trust. It is very common among Iranians to trust and do business with a hand shake, not knowing the outcomes of such blind trust. Not everyone has your best interest in mind--ONLY Legal Persian does. Ask our clients.
6- Do NOT sign a Comprehensive PoA (vekalatnameh) to anyone at once and at the beginning of the probate process. Breakdown the work in pieces and make your agent’s accountable for their actions.
7- Have contractual agreement with individuals you hire. The more access you have with your Agent in terms of your jurisdiction the better you can control their actions. Legal Persian work and operate in the U.S. and obeys and practices under its laws. We will be paid by our clients in the US and legally cannot collect any fees in Iran.
8- Inflation is real! Check the price of your inherited assets very frequently.
9- Act calm and collected, yet fast and decisive. Lack of action is not an answer to your suspicions. Abandoning your issues in Iran will not solve them. Ask a professional for the most feasible method of collecting and liquidating your assets.
10- Sign a contract with Legal Persian to locate, collect, and liquidate all of your Iranian Inherited real estate and save yourself unnecessary legal troubles and potential loss. We are on your side! Always!
