Estate Planning Services for Every Stage of Life

Good planning changes as your family, assets and responsibilities change. We keep the process understandable and give you a clear record of what happens next.

Wills Drafting

Prepare a straightforward will or a more detailed document with testamentary trusts, guardianship wishes and carefully named beneficiaries.

Typical scenario

You have young children, several properties or a family business and need instructions that leave less room for dispute.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Create an LPA for personal welfare and property and affairs, so trusted people can act if you lose mental capacity.

Typical scenario

Your ageing parent wants a clear arrangement for medical decisions, banking and property matters before support is needed.

Probate and Estate Administration

We handle grant applications, letters of administration, creditor issues and asset distribution for executors and beneficiaries.

Typical scenario

An estate includes a home, bank accounts or shares, and the family needs a managed route from the death certificate to distribution.

Succession Planning

Set out how a family business, trust assets and voting rights should pass to the next generation.

Typical scenario

A business owner wants the next shareholder and decision-maker identified before retirement or an unexpected illness.

Cross-Border Estates

Coordinate Singapore planning with overseas homes, investments and family members when more than one country is involved.

Typical scenario

Your family has assets in Singapore and another jurisdiction, and you need advice that avoids conflicting instructions.

Questions About Wills and Probate

Start here, then bring the details of your family and assets to a private discussion.

What happens if I die without a will in Singapore?

The Intestate Succession Act may determine who receives your assets. The result may not match your wishes, and administration can take longer when family relationships or overseas assets are involved.

How much does it cost to draft a will?

The cost depends on the number of beneficiaries, assets and any trust or cross-border issues. We explain the scope and fee before work begins, with fixed-fee options for straightforward wills.

How long does probate take?

A straightforward application may take several months. Missing documents, disputed instructions, property transfers and overseas assets can extend the estate administration timeline.

Can I cancel a lasting power of attorney?

An LPA can generally be revoked while you have mental capacity, subject to the required process. We can explain the paperwork and check whether a replacement LPA is needed.
