I'm seeking advice regarding my Father's and Mother's assets in Morocco.

Both of my parents were born in Morocco, while my four sisters and I were born and live in the UK. We've recently begun discussing about the "what ifs," and we have concerns about understanding what needs to be done when that sad time comes, as our knowledge of Moroccan law is limited to what our parents have told us and I’m worried  this information might be outdated and not reflect any modern changes they might not be aware of.

To give you an overview:

My father owns three properties and land.

My mother owns one property and possibly a share of land that will be passed down from her parents, who are still alive and both my parents have financial assets saved in Moroccan banks and we would like to know where we stand if anything happens to them, including:

Whether there are wills similar to those in the UK.

If there is a concept of being nominated as an executor of a will or being appointed with financial and medical power of attorney in case one or both parents lose their mental capabilities.

Another concern is the protection of our interests against other family members in Morocco who are currently living in the properties owned by my parents.

While we don't want them to leave if anything happens to our parents, we want to ensure there is no old Moroccan law that allows a family member to claim our parents' assets.

I hope someone can help provide some guidance on these matters. Looking forward to your responses.

Best regards,

H
