The purpose of this study is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the roles and functions of the Department of Director General of Lands and Mines (Jabatan Ketua Pengarah Tanah dan Galian (JKPTG)) and Bahagian Pembahagian Pusaka (BPP) under JKPTG to avoid confusion among the nations, especially when comparing them to Pejabat Tanah. JKPTG is the biggest organization or department that administers the estate distribution of the deceased under Bahagian Pembahagian Pusaka (BPP), which is about 65% of the assets claimed. As we know, Malaysia has struggled with the issue of unclaimed assets among Muslims. The value of unclaimed properties, the majority of which belong to Malays, has risen every year. If this problem is not addressed early on, it will have long-term consequences for the individual, community, and nation. Many studies have been done on this subject, focusing on the cause and solutions, but not many studies have been done on the roles and functions of JKPTG and BPP. Hence, it is vital to address this matter so that JKPTG and Bahagian Pembahagian Pusaka (BPP) under JKPTG can be recognized and become more accessible to the people.
