Hasan Kuchak was married to Izzat Malik, a daughter of Hajji Jabash (son of Sunjaq Noyan).[5][6] He was murdered by her near the end of 1343,[7] ostensibly because she feared that her marital infidelity would be discovered. As Hasan Kuchak left no successor, Malek Asraf and Yagi Basti, along with Surgan, split the Chobanid lands, though Malek eventually became sole ruler. He was buried in Tabriz.

His name survives on an inscription found in Tabriz, Ostād-Šāgerd mosque which was built during reign of Suleiman Khan.
