Jointly Acquired Asset Agreement
What is Matrimonial Property?
Harta sepencarian (or matrimonial property) is a property jointly acquired by both husband and wife during the subsistence of a valid marriage. Each spouse has his/her respective right over the property but the right must be claimed in court. Thus, in the event of any one of their deaths, the surviving spouse is entitled to claim her portion thereof from the deceased spouse’s estate before distribution in accordance with Faraid rules.

Setlor mempunyai kuasa untuk membatalkan Hibah.
