Asset inventory worksheet for harta sepencarian

Why list your assets first

A harta sepencarian claim is easier to argue when every asset is listed clearly, rather than described from memory during a hearing or Sulh session. Read harta sepencarian for how the court weighs direct and indirect contribution.

Work through the table below asset by asset. You do not need to finish it in one sitting.

The inventory table

Asset	Whose name	Your contribution	Your rough estimate	Evidence
House in Shah Alam	Husband only	Paid half the monthly instalments	Write your own ringgit estimate	Bank transfer records to the loan account.
Family car	Joint	Managed the household while he worked	Write your own ringgit estimate	Household bills, school records showing you ran daily life.
Fixed deposit	Wife only	Savings from your own income	Write your own ringgit estimate	Bank statement in your own name.

Add a row for every asset acquired during the marriage, including property, vehicles, savings, and business interests.

Direct and indirect contribution both count

Direct contribution is money you put in yourself. This covers instalments, deposits, or renovation costs.

Indirect contribution is running the household, raising the children, or managing family finances while your husband earned the income. Both types can support your claim.

Note which type applies to each asset in your table, since the evidence you gather differs for each.

Evidence to gather for direct contribution

Bank transfers, loan statements showing joint or shared payments, and receipts for renovation or furnishing work all support a direct contribution claim.

Evidence to gather for indirect contribution

Evidence here is less about receipts and more about the overall pattern of your role. School records, household bills you managed, and witness accounts from family can support an indirect contribution.

What to do once your inventory is complete

Bring the completed table to a Peguam Syarie or to your Sulh session, which is a mediation session before a hearing, alongside the evidence for each asset. A clear inventory helps the discussion move toward what each side is willing to accept.

If an asset was acquired before the marriage, note that separately. Ordinary harta sepencarian claims, meaning property jointly acquired during the marriage, cover assets built up while you were married.

Update the inventory as new assets come to mind. Many readers remember smaller items, such as a joint savings account or a shared vehicle loan, only after they start with the larger assets first.
