Common Questions

Frequently Asked

What should a family do in the first weeks after a death? show hide
There is no need to act at once. The most useful early steps are locating the will if one exists, gathering identity documents, noting which banks and land titles were in the deceased's name, and letting relevant institutions know. An initial consultation with us will produce a checklist specific to the estate.
How long does estate administration typically take in Malaysia? show hide
Ordinarily nine to eighteen months for a complete administration. Estates involving land title transfers or assets held abroad can take longer, as those processes are governed by the relevant land registry and foreign institutions rather than by the legal office alone.
Do I need a lawyer, or can the family manage the estate themselves? show hide
For simple estates with few assets and no land title, families can often go directly to the Amanah Raya public trustee or the relevant district land office. We will tell you plainly at the initial consultation whether professional representation is necessary for your situation.
What documents will we need to locate? show hide
Typically: the death certificate, the deceased's MyKad or passport, any will or nomination documents, recent bank statements, land title documents (geran tanah), insurance policy numbers and EPF member details. We provide a written checklist after the initial consultation.
Can the initial consultation be delayed if the family is not ready? show hide
Yes. There is no urgency to meet within a fixed period after a bereavement. The office is available when the family feels ready, and the first appointment carries no obligation to engage our services further.
How are fees calculated and when are they payable? show hide
Fees for each service are set out at the start of engagement. The initial consultation is RM 175. Will drafting begins from RM 430 and full estate administration from RM 645. All fees are discussed and agreed before work begins.
