1. 什么是遗嘱?
遗嘱是一份在立遗嘱人去世后发生效力的法律文件,用来记录遗产分配及其他相关安排。
它可以指定受益人、委任执行人,也可以处理特定资产、剩余遗产、未成年受益人及其他遗产规划事项。

遗嘱是一份在立遗嘱人去世后发生效力的法律文件,用来记录遗产分配及其他相关安排。
它可以指定受益人、委任执行人,也可以处理特定资产、剩余遗产、未成年受益人及其他遗产规划事项。
是否立遗嘱是个人选择,但如果你希望自己去世后由你决定谁管理遗产、谁继承资产,以及如何处理未成年孩子或其他家庭安排,遗嘱会非常重要。
如果没有有效遗嘱,遗产通常会按适用的无遗嘱继承法律处理,而不一定完全符合你原本的个人意愿。
不是。
法律并不一般要求遗嘱必须由律师起草,但遗嘱本身仍然必须符合适用法律的形式、签署和见证要求。
真正重要的是遗嘱是否清楚、合法,并能够在日后遗产管理时实际执行。
律师起草的主要价值,不是单纯“把资产写进文件”,而是同时考虑:
复杂家庭、多个房地产、公司股权、外国资产或跨境家庭通常更需要仔细规划。
非穆斯林遗嘱应根据《1959年遗嘱法令》的适用要求处理。
除了年龄要求,还需要考虑立遗嘱人的精神能力、自愿程度,以及签署和见证方式。
因此,不建议只用“年满18岁就一定可以”这种过度简化的说法,应根据具体情况确认。
可以更改。
只要立遗嘱人具备所需能力并自愿作出决定,可以在日后重新立遗嘱,或在适当情况下通过其他有效的遗嘱文件进行修改。
如果重新立新遗嘱,应确保撤销条款和现有遗嘱之间不会产生不必要冲突,尤其是有外国遗嘱时。
有有效遗嘱时,可以由立遗嘱人事先指定执行人和受益人,并说明遗产如何分配。
执行人通常需要申请 Grant of Probate。
没有有效遗嘱时,则通常由适当人士申请 Letters of Administration,再按照适用的无遗嘱继承法律处理遗产。
这两种程序在申请人、文件、遗产分配及某些担保安排上可能不同。
对于适用《1958年分配法令》的非穆斯林遗产,遗产会按照法定继承顺序和比例分配。
实际比例要看死者留下哪些家属,例如配偶、父母、孩子或其他亲属。
如果你希望遗产按照自己的安排分配,就不应只依赖无遗嘱继承规则。
执行人是日后负责申请遗嘱认证并管理遗产的人。
选择时应考虑:
执行人并不一定在所有案件中都必须亲自到法庭,实际出席要求取决于法庭程序和案件情况。
常见资料包括:
不一定每个案件都需要完全相同的文件。
法律并不要求你一定要把遗嘱内容告诉所有家人。
不过,至少应该让执行人或可信任的人知道原件存放在哪里。
找不到原件并不等于法律上自动视为“从来没有立遗嘱”,但会造成很实际的遗产认证问题,因此原件保存非常重要。
不一定。
详细资产清单有助于规划及日后遗产管理,但一份妥善起草的遗嘱通常也会包含剩余遗产条款,用来处理没有逐项列出的遗产资产。
如果遗嘱没有有效处理剩余遗产,可能出现部分无遗嘱继承的问题。
不是。
遗嘱并不只限于英文。重点是内容清楚、能够表达立遗嘱人的意愿,并符合适用的签署和见证要求。
如果使用中文或其他语言,也应考虑日后遗产认证及法庭程序是否需要翻译。
结婚可能对原有遗嘱产生重大法律影响。
《1959年遗嘱法令》对结婚后的遗嘱效力有特定规定,也存在某些法定例外,例如特定情况下在预期某段婚姻的情况下订立的遗嘱。
因此,结婚前后都应该重新检视现有遗嘱,不要只凭旧文件继续沿用。
不要假设离婚会自动撤销整份遗嘱。
如果前配偶仍然被列为受益人、执行人、受托人或其他重要角色,应尽快重新检视遗嘱是否仍然符合你的意愿。
有可能。
遗嘱争议可能涉及:
由律师起草、由独立见证人见证或保存完整记录,都可能有助于日后证明遗嘱情况,但不能保证遗嘱“绝对不会被挑战”。

Outstanding service from Janice at Teh & Yu I had a great experience working with Janice at Teh & Yu. From start to finish, she handled everything with real dedication and professionalism. She was proactive in keeping things moving, communicated clearly at every step, and made sure the whole process was completed quickly and smoothly — without cutting corners.

Teh & Yu handled my divorce in Malaysia very well and I'm very pleased with their services. My case was complicated as my divorce in Singapore from 10 years ago needed to be registered in Malaysia and I'm based in Singapore. They helped me with the paperwork and guided me well with the necessary documents required, and arranged for me to attend the court hearing remotely. I'm impressed with their knowledge of the law, responsiveness and friendly service given. I would highly recommend them.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 279 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
