Private Client — Wills, Probate & Family

Estates in Malaysia sit at the meeting point of civil law, Syariah, land office practice and family reality. We draft wills that work, obtain probate and letters of administration without drama, and guide families through succession — including the civil–faraid interface few firms handle well.

How we help

  • Wills, testamentary trusts and estate planning
  • Probate and letters of administration
  • Estate administration, including cross-border assets
  • Civil and Syariah estate interface — faraid, hibah, wasiat
  • Family business succession planning
  • Divorce, custody and matrimonial asset matters (civil)

Selected experience

  • Obtained probate and administered a cross-border estate with assets in Malaysia, Singapore and the UK.
  • Advised on a family manufacturing group’s succession, balancing faraid entitlements with a shareholders’ agreement.
  • Acted in a contested letters-of-administration matter among nine beneficiaries, settled by mediated family arrangement.
  • Prepared estate plans for over 200 families in 2025, from straightforward wills to trust structures.

Matter descriptions are anonymised and shared with client consent where required.
