If you passed away today, who would inherit?
Enter who is in your family. We will apply the real Malaysian intestacy rules — the Distribution Act 1958, or faraid — and show each person’s exact share, with no will in place.
Who inherits without a will?
Choose your path, tell us who survives, and see the distribution.
This tool models common nuclear-family situations. Estates with grandchildren, half-relatives, multiple wives, or no close relatives at all can differ — and nominated assets (EPF, insurance) and jointly-owned property may pass outside these rules entirely. Treat the result as a starting point for a conversation, not a legal opinion.
The fix is simple
A will puts you back in charge
With a will you choose the shares, name executors and guardians you trust, and can protect a child or a business with a trust. For Muslim families, a wasiat and hibah do the same within faraid.
About this calculator
Is this calculator legal advice?
No — it is an educational illustration of how intestacy rules generally apply. Real estates involve nominated assets, jointly-owned property, debts and remoter relatives. For advice on your situation, speak to us.
Which rules does it use?
The civil path applies the Distribution Act 1958 (as amended 1997) for non-Muslims in Peninsular Malaysia. The Islamic path applies faraid for common family situations. Sabah and Sarawak have their own rules for non-Muslims.
Why is the faraid result sometimes reduced or increased?
When the fixed shares add up to more than the whole estate they are scaled down proportionally (awl); when there is a surplus and no residuary heir, it returns to the sharers (radd). The binding calculation is always the Syariah Court’s sijil faraid.
One calm conversation is a good place to start.
