Siti Khadijah binti Zainal
Petaling Jaya, Selangor
We came to Pusaka Cendana about three months after my father passed. The first thing I noticed was that no one pushed us to make decisions quickly. The lawyer we met was direct about what the estate involved and what we could expect. The written plan they provided meant we always knew what stage we were at. The whole administration took about fourteen months, which is roughly what we were told at the start.

Tan Hock Seng
Ipoh, Perak
We had a fairly complicated situation — my mother's estate included a house in Perak and accounts at three different banks, and two of my siblings are based overseas. Pusaka Cendana handled all the state registry correspondence themselves and kept my siblings copied on every update. It would have been very difficult to manage from abroad otherwise. I would say the communication was their strongest point.

I came for the initial consultation not knowing whether we needed a lawyer at all. The honest answer we received was that our situation was straightforward enough to go through Amanah Raya, and the lawyer walked me through the process. That kind of candour is not what I expected. I later came back to arrange my own will, and that process was smooth and completed on schedule.

Shah Alam, Selangor
The will review was particularly helpful for us. We had insurance nominations that did not match what was in the will we had drafted ourselves years earlier. The lawyer explained the difference between how nominated assets pass and how the will operates — something I had genuinely not understood before. The whole process was unhurried and we felt like we had enough time to think.

Chong Li Ying
Subang Jaya, Selangor
My husband and I went to Pusaka Cendana to update our wills after the birth of our second child. We wanted to make sure the guardian appointments were clear. The meeting was thorough — we talked through scenarios I had not thought of — and the draft was ready within two weeks. I appreciated that they stored the signed copy. One less thing to worry about where it has gone.

Ahmad Hakim bin Mohd Yunus
Klang, Selangor
The initial consultation gave us a clear map of everything we needed to do. My father had property in two states and some unit trust investments we were not sure how to handle. The checklist we were given covered all of it, and the note from the meeting was genuinely useful when we needed to contact the relevant institutions ourselves. We did not need a lawyer in the end, and they said as much.
