Inherited wealth is not subject to until a full lunar year has passed on it, based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no Zakat on wealth until a year has passed on it." It is permissible to pay Zakat on inherited wealth in advance, along with other funds, if the heir wishes to do so. As for how to pay Zakat when you are far from the place where it is due, you can appoint someone to distribute it on your behalf in the country where the Zakat is owed.
