​Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to help you make informed decisions.

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: -

1. the Death Certificate;
   
2. the Original will;
   
3. the NRIC of the Executor(s);
4. the list of immovable properties (houses, offices, shoplots);
5. the list of movable properties (share accounts, bank accounts, vehicles, jewelries);
   
6. the list of assets and liabilities / debts; and
   
7. the list of Beneficiaries.

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.
