Execution of a Succession Deed or Notification – Limited Liability and Private Shareholding Companies

This service allows a limited liability company or a private shareholding company to admit heirs to the company by operation of law on the death of a partner or shareholder, in accordance with the provisions of the law, and to have that amendment recorded at CCD once the legal requirements are met.

Who can use this service

Limited liability companies and private shareholding companies.

Prepare the following information and documents before submitting the certificate or extract request through the official service channel.

Requirements

The application and documents are submitted through CCD’s electronic services.
Any fractions arising from the division of the interests or shares under the inheritance calculation set out in the succession deed or notification must be settled by rounding them to one of the heirs, with the agreement of all the heirs and their signatures before the authorized officer, a notary public, or a lawyer licensed in the Kingdom. Where one of the heirs is a minor or is under interdiction by court decision and it is decided to take the fractional interests or shares belonging to them, the guardianship deed and the sale permission deed issued by the Sharia Court, or the guardianship decision and the sale permission decision issued by the Ecclesiastical Court, as the case may be, must be produced, and must record approval of that step. Otherwise, the fractions are aggregated to form a whole number and entered under an item named “the deceased’s heirs”.
Where the succession deed or notification is issued outside the Kingdom, it must be certified by the competent authorities in the country of issue, including that country’s ministry of foreign affairs; by the representative of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in that country, if any, or by that country’s embassy in the Kingdom; by the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and stamped by the Chief Islamic Justice Department or the competent denominational council in the Kingdom, as the case may be.
Where the succession deed or notification is issued in Jerusalem, it is sufficient for it to be stamped by the Chief Islamic Justice Department or the denominational Ecclesiastical Court in the Kingdom, as the case may be.
