Our Inheritance Law Solutions
Detailed, considered services that address the practical and legal dimensions of estate planning and administration in Malaysia.
Back to HomeOur Approach
We begin every engagement with a thorough discussion to understand the full picture — the assets involved, the family dynamics, the legal frameworks that apply, and any time-sensitive factors. From there, we develop a plan tailored to the specific situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all process.
Throughout the work, we maintain open communication and set realistic expectations about timelines. Our goal is not simply to complete the legal requirements, but to make the entire experience as manageable as possible for our clients. We coordinate with courts, financial institutions, and relevant authorities so that the burden does not fall on the families we serve.
Amanah Trust Setup
Advisory and documentation service for establishing an Amanah (Islamic trust) structure as part of your estate plan. We explain the principles governing Amanah arrangements, draft the trust deed in compliance with both Islamic principles and Malaysian trust law, advise on trustee selection, and outline the administrative requirements for maintaining the trust.
- Comprehensive review of your estate and intentions
- Trust deed drafted to satisfy Syariah and civil requirements
- Guidance on selecting and instructing trustees
- Administrative checklist for ongoing trust management
- Post-establishment support for questions or amendments
Heir Tracing Service
Investigative support for locating beneficiaries or potential heirs whose whereabouts are unknown. We coordinate with public records, genealogical databases, and investigative resources to identify and contact missing beneficiaries. This service includes documentary verification of claimed relationships and preparation of supporting evidence for court proceedings.
- Systematic search through Malaysian public records
- Genealogical database research and cross-referencing
- Verification of familial connections with documentation
- Court-admissible evidence preparation
- Regular progress reports throughout the search
Estate Account Preparation
Detailed preparation of estate accounts for court submission or beneficiary review, covering all financial transactions during the administration period. We compile receipts and payments, reconcile bank statements, document asset dispositions, and present the accounts in the format required by the relevant court. Clear, organised accounts support smooth discharge of the administrator.
