Otherwise, the fractional interests shall be aggregated into a whole number and recorded under an entry entitled “Heirs of the Deceased.”
Where the Declaration of Heirs / Heirship Certificate is issued outside the Kingdom, it must be duly authenticated by the competent authorities in the issuing country, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of that country, and by the representative of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in the issuing country, where applicable, or by the issuing country’s embassy in the Kingdom, as well as by the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It must also bear the authentication stamp of the Chief Justice Department or the competent religious council in the Kingdom, as applicable.
Where the Declaration of Heirs / Heirship Certificate is issued in Jerusalem, authentication by the Chief Justice Department or the competent Ecclesiastical Court in the Kingdom, as applicable, shall suffice.
