SUCCESSION (AFTER DEATH)
Upon the passing of someone, the family members will have to administer and distribute the estates of the deceased.
When someone passes away leaving a will, the person named in the deceased's Will as the executor will have to execute the will by first applying to the High Court of Malaya for the Grant of Probate. If the person passes away without leaving a will, then depending on the size of the deceased's estate, an administrator will be appointed by the High Court of Malaya via an application for the Grant of Letter of Administration to administer the deceased's estate. There are also other ways where an estate of someone who passes away without leaving a will can be administered. These include the summary administration by Amanah Raya Berhad and the small estate distribution application. At TEH & YU, we provide a complete and professional solution to your succession related matters. All personal information submitted to us will be kept strictly private and confidential. |

WHEN DO I APPLY FOR A grant of probate / GRANT OF letters of administration?
Application for grant of probate is only applicable when the Deceased left a valid will with a valid executor.
If the Deceased did not leave a valid will or left a valid will but not a valid executor, then the application for letters of administration applies here. How long is the whole process of grant of probate / letters of administration?
Depending on the schedule of the court, the application for grant of probate will generally take 2-6 months where as the application for letters of administration will generally take 4 months to 2 years.
Grant of probate - what are the documents and information needed?
In order to apply for the grant of probate, the beneficiaries must prepare the following documents and information and submit to us for our further action: -
If my parent left a will, can the beneficiaries decide to distribute the estates in another way?
If the Deceased left a Will, it is generally advisable that the beneficiaries respect the wishes of the Deceased by administering the estates and distributing the properties according to the provision of the Will.
Although the beneficiaries may reach an agreement to distribute the estates not in accordance with the Will, please seek our professional advice (especially on its implication) if the beneficiaries decide not to follow the provision of the Will. Is it true that a will is invalid upon A marriage/remarriage or A divorce?
Generally your existing Will is revoked and becomes invalid upon your marriage or remarriage. If you do not write a new Will, your estates will be distributed in accordance with the Distribution Act 1958.
However, your existing Will does not become void and will remain valid after your divorce. It is therefore advisable to review your Will after your divorce to ensure that it reflects the change of your marital status. |
