The legal questions of Iranians abroad that follow from Iranian nationality — in one place, country by country.
Every legal system asks the same questions differently: which law applies, how Iranian law is proved, what happens to inheritance, mahr and assets, and which route the documents take. Eight countries, one pattern — the Iranian layer from me, the country layer from the professional admitted there.
Germany
The 1929 treaty designates Iranian law — the passport decides, residence does not.
USA
No treaty any more; Iranian law as a matter of proof — and the OFAC licence for inherited assets.
United Arab Emirates
Freeze from the day of death; Iranian succession law on application and proof.
France
Iranian succession law can be chosen here — and the certificat de coutume is the notaires’ tool.
England and Wales
Iranian law is a fact — and facts are proved by experts.
Canada
Expert evidence in the province — and whether Iran is genuinely open as a forum.
Australia
Full disclosure — and Iranian assets that first have to be made visible.
Türkiye
Turkish land under Turkish law — almost everything else under Iran.
