Coping with loss in Egypt

Cheryl

Hello everyone,

Managing or preparing for a death in Egypt is a complex process that requires a thorough understanding of the laws and procedures in place in Egypt.

This situation raises several questions:

What are the steps to take to retrieve the belongings of a deceased loved one in Egypt?

What are the resources or specialised institutions available to assist in this process? What types of services can they offer in this context?

In the case of a will, how can one ensure that it is recognised and respected in Egypt? What challenges arise from differences in legislation?

Who should be informed first of the death of a loved one in Egypt? What are the most effective communication channels for notifying relatives and institutions?

What are the implications for dependent visas, such as those for spouses and children, when the visa holder passes away in Egypt? What steps need to be taken to address this situation?

Please feel free to share any information you find useful and your experiences on this topic.

Thank you for your contribution.

@Cheryl، dear Cheryl, I was surprised to read this issue from you as you are still young and beautiful, I expect that you can ask for the best places to avoid the hot weather and I was going to tell you that the north coast is so beautiful and the sea is very nice and smooth.

Please have a vacation at any resort at the north coast and don't think about death.

Wow, Cheryl! Thank you for your topic. I am a Puerto Rican, Registered Nurse, and come across the issue of death and loss very often. It is such an important subject as the only thing certain in life is, in fact death.  I absolutely love Egypt and dream of it being a permanent home one day and yes, the issue of remains, assets, and personal property are of huge interest to me, as it should be for every expat. I look forward to other member's insights to learn more. - Marci
