What to do after your parents or loved ones pass away?

​
​When and how can you deal with the estates?

​​Upon the passing of someone, all the assets including properties and bank accounts are frozen. The family members will have to administer and distribute the estates of the deceased. We assist family members in applying for a Grant of Probate (where there is a valid will) or a Grant of Letter of Administration via High Court of Malaya (where there is no valid will). ​

We are here to provide support during this challenging time. Get in touch with us by submitting your information below.
​NEW! If you have the original will and the original death certificate of the deceased, call us at +603 6419 1888 or reach out to us via WhatsApp for quicker response.

​If there is a valid will

​
When someone passes away leaving a valid will, the person named in the deceased's Will as the executor has to execute the will by first applying to the High Court of Malaya for the Grant of Probate. ​The estates will be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Will.
​NEW! If you have the original will and the original death certificate of the deceased, call us at +603 6419 1888 or reach out to us via WhatsApp for quicker response.

​If the deceased did not leave a valid will


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. ​The estates will be distributed in accordance with Section 6 of the Distribution Act 1958 [Act 300].

​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.

​Frequently Asked Questions

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.
