 Following in the footsteps of its predecessors among the rulers of the Imamate priesthood in impoverishing the Yemenis, starving them, confiscating their property and exhausting them with repeated levies, the Houthi militia seeks to acquire the estates of the deceased in terms of cash and in-kind funds, lands, savings and other personal properties that the Yemenis leave after their death to their heirs.

 Under the pretext of prolonging the division procedures between the heirs, the Iranian arm in Yemen plans to enact what it believes are laws and regulations that enable it to monopolize the right to divide the heirs, through supposed judges who are loyal to the group only.

Sources working in the judiciary sector in Sana'a revealed to (NewsYemen) the militia's tendency to appoint others working in the ranks of the group, in the position of the so-called judicial guard, who are assigned the tasks of taking possession of the estates of the deceased and managing them economically during the period of dividing the estate between the supposed heirs.

 It is expected that the Houthi militia will continue to fuel family disputes over inheritance, develop conflicts between members of the same family, incite children against their fathers, and brothers against their relatives, and dismantle the ties of kinship between the family and society, in a way that enables it to acquire the legacies of the deceased and control the fate of the heirs.

 Lawyer and chartered accountant, Ayman Taher, considered the Houthi orientations an explicit violation of the constitutional and legal terms of reference and functions of the bar associations, chartered accountants and judges working in the field for years.

He accused the Houthi militia of working to impoverish the population by looting the salaries of employees and imposing price doses on the prices of oil derivatives, foodstuffs, education, health, electricity and water services, pointing in parallel to the development of family disputes over inheritance among members of the same family and society in general.

 Meanwhile, the Houthi militia claimed, on Sunday, July 16, 2023, that a meeting was held at the Ministry of Justice, which included "a number of judges, general managers, doctors, researchers, and judicial assistants" to discuss legal studies related to the reasons for prolonging consensual and forced division procedures, which it claimed belong to "those in charge of division procedures."

 According to the Houthi announcement, the meeting included a review of what it described as (the controls and conditions that must be met during the appointment of the judicial guard by the judge in charge of the division to guard and preserve the estate).
