Conflicts over inheritance distribution led to significant issues, preventing heirs from utilizing assets meant to benefit them. In Malaysia, an accumulation of RM90 billion of frozen assets from unresolved inheritance cases highlights the need for improved resolution strategies. Using a qualitative approach, this study identifies key issues of conflicts, including family disagreements, communication challenges, outsider interference, and third-party disputes, e.g. financial institutions. The findings suggest mediation as an effective alternative dispute resolution method to resolve estate distribution disputes due to its timely and cost-effective solutions to address these conflicts and improve inheritance distribution.
