Will & Estate Planning

Protect the Legacy You've Built.

Your Will is more than a document. It's a plan for what happens to the assets you've spent a lifetime building.

The gap most people miss

You already have beneficiaries
for your EPF & insurance.

But what about everything else you own?

Who will take care of these when you're gone?

EPF and insurance let you nominate. Most other assets do not. Without clear instructions, they generally pass through the estate administration process before anyone in your family can deal with them.

The above is a general description of common estate administration outcomes in Malaysia. Timelines, costs and procedures vary with each estate. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and no specific outcome is guaranteed. Please speak to Dr. Karen about your own circumstances.

The four parts of a plan

Estate planning is more than writing a Will.

Each package on this page is built from these four parts. Which combination you need depends on your assets and your family.

01

Will

Who gets what?

Names your executor, your beneficiaries and the guardian for your children, and records your instructions in writing.

02

Custody

Where is the original Will kept?

A Will that cannot be produced cannot be acted on. Lifetime Premium Custody stores the signed original in secure custody for life.

03

Trust

Who manages the assets, and how should beneficiaries receive them?

A Testamentary Trust lets a trustee release the inheritance on the terms you set, instead of everything arriving at once.

04

Asset Inventory

Can your executor actually find your assets?

Real-Time Inventory Update keeps your asset list current each year, so nothing is left untraceable.

Start here

Which level of planning do you need?

Four common starting points. Pick the one that sounds most like you.

Not sure? Answer four short questions and we'll point you to a starting point. Let Dr. Karen help you choose from there.
Which plan is right for me?
Guided selector

Which plan is right for me?

Four questions, no forms, nothing submitted. This is a starting point for your conversation with Dr. Karen — not a recommendation of legal advice.

What are you mainly looking for?

Would any beneficiary need help managing what they receive?

For example young children, elderly parents, or someone who would struggle with a lump sum.

How would you describe your assets?

Are you planning for yourself, or as a couple?

When a Will alone isn't enough

Why would I need more than a Will?

Three situations where the added parts tend to earn their place.

👶

Young Children

A Trust may help provide structured management of an inheritance, so what you leave is released over time rather than handed over all at once.

🏢

Business Owners

Company shares and business interests may require more thoughtful planning, including how a partner might buy out your share.

💰

Larger or More Complex Assets

A combination of Will, Custody, Trust and Inventory may provide a more comprehensive structure when there is more to keep track of.

Add-on services

Build your own estate planning solution.

Each of these can be taken on its own, added to a Will you already hold, or bundled into a package above.

Your signed original is stored in secure custody for life, so it cannot be lost, damaged or misplaced. LPC1000 has no age limit. LPC1500 and above are for entry at age 70 and below, and include a Grant of Probate subsidy of up to RM5,000. LPC1600 includes yearly inventory updates. LPC2000 is for adding custody after the Will has been finalised.
Our legal team guides your executor through the Grant of Probate process, including EPF and insurance claims, and connects them with lawyers and accountants where needed. Included at no extra cost in the Premium Will packages.
Keeps your asset list current each year, so multiple, overseas or digital assets are not left untraceable by your executor and beneficiaries.
Assigns your insurance payout to a licensed trustee — Amanah Raya Berhad or Affin Hwang — so beneficiaries receive the funds in instalments rather than one lump sum.
A trust structure that sits alongside the Will. Whether it suits you depends on the assets involved — worth discussing with Dr. Karen first.
Three tiers of standby trust arrangement. Which tier fits depends on the assets involved. Detailed scope: information to be confirmed.
Helps ensure your business partner can buy out your share, so your family receives value rather than a business they may not be able to run. Available as an add-on to the Premium Will.
An Islamic Will, which allows Muslim clients to direct up to one-third of their assets to non-heirs or to charity.
A lifetime gift that takes effect while you are alive and sits outside Faraid.

Executor and trustee appointment through Amanah Raya Berhad or Pavilion Prime Trustee Berhad is RM100, and is waived in the Ultimate Will package. All prices exclude 8% SST.

Common questions

Questions people ask before they start.

Your estate is generally distributed according to Malaysian law rather than your own wishes, and someone must first be appointed to administer it. This process involves legal and administrative steps and can take a considerable period before assets reach your family. The specifics depend on your circumstances.
Yes — and most people should, after a marriage, a birth, a divorce or a property purchase. The Advance and Premium packages include one free rewriting. Combo packages add 50% off subsequent rewriting. The Ultimate Will includes free lifetime rewriting.
Your signed original Will is stored in secure custody for life, so it cannot be lost, damaged or misplaced. Lifetime Premium Custody starts from RM1,000, and the LPC1500 tier and above include a Grant of Probate subsidy of up to RM5,000.
A trust created by your Will. Instead of the inheritance being handed over in full, a trustee manages and releases it on the terms you set. It is included from EP1988 upward.
Families with minor children, elderly parents, or a beneficiary who may need help managing a lump sum. Business owners and those with more complex assets may also benefit. Dr. Karen can talk through whether it applies to you.
Yes. The Advance Will and above allow unlimited assets to be listed, including property, bank accounts, investments, vehicles, company shares and valuables. The Basic Will EP500 is limited to three assets.
Those nominations cover EPF and insurance only. Most other assets — property, bank accounts, investments, vehicles, company shares — do not have a nomination facility and are dealt with through the estate. A Will is how you give instructions for them.
It depends on how many assets you hold and who you are providing for. Use the guided selector above for a starting point, then book a free consultation — Dr. Karen will tell you which plan fits and which parts you can skip.
Prices shown exclude 8% SST, and RM100 printing and administration charges apply to every Will. All terms and conditions apply and are subject to change by FINEX & CO Legacy Advisory.
