Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a will and probate?

A will is the document that records your wishes for how your estate should be distributed. Probate is the legal process through which a court confirms the will is valid and authorises the executor to carry out those wishes. If there is no will, an administrator is appointed instead through a separate process called letters of administration.

How long does the probate process typically take in Malaysia?

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the estate, whether a will exists, and the court's schedule. A straightforward matter may be resolved in a few months, while contested or complex estates can take considerably longer. We keep you informed throughout and manage the paperwork so you are not left waiting without updates.

Can siblings or other relatives contest a will in Malaysia?

Yes, a will can be challenged in certain circumstances — for example, if there are questions about the testator's mental capacity, undue influence, or the document's validity. Our dispute resolution service helps families work through these matters as constructively as possible, aiming for outcomes that preserve relationships where that is feasible.

What documents should I bring to the first consultation?

For an estate planning session, it helps to bring a list of your assets and any existing documents such as property titles or bank account details. For probate or dispute matters, bring the death certificate, any existing will, and identity documents. If you are unsure what to prepare, simply call us and we will guide you before your appointment.

Are your fees fixed or do they vary?

Our service fees listed are the starting point for each type of matter. More involved cases — such as estates with multiple properties or disputed arrangements — may involve additional costs, which we always discuss openly with you before proceeding. There are no hidden charges.

Do you handle both Muslim and non-Muslim estate matters?

Yes. Our team is familiar with both the civil inheritance framework applicable to non-Muslims and the Faraid (Islamic estate distribution) process applicable to Muslims. We can advise on which framework applies to your situation and guide you through the appropriate channels accordingly.
