Have you written your WILL?

If yes, from which provider? How much does it cost?

If no, when do you plan to write?

wait till when i am old first...

yes, but not taking will writter's service.

If not by will writer's service, Then how?

Is your way legal?

No not yet.
But an advise, once one is with assets and dependents than it's time to write a will. It never hurts to pen it down.
What I last heard, will writing inclusive of getting it chopped and stamped by the commission of oath cost less than RM500.
But sorry, I have no contact.

Beside the will writers like Rockwill, OSK Will blablabla......
Trustee company like Amanah Raya, PB Trustee etc also offer will writing services.
Or you can also do it at Lawyer's office.

Will services is around RM300-500 for a standard will. It is based on clause. The more clause you have, the more you have to pay.

It is not recommended to write yourself a will unless you have a reference as a guide.

If you are planning to get a lawyer to write, make sure you get those specialise on will writing. Some lawyers only knows how to do S&P and nothing else.

Theres such a thing as a will writer? Can it be done by a lawyer?

Yes.
Nowadays fighting with lawyers for business.

But then, I'm not comfortable with the way they charge.
Some say, depending on clause, more clause, more fee.
Some say, depending on the total value of the asset recorded & they derive a percentage out of it as fee.

Fine. ARB charges only RM250.

Some professional will writer charges more than 20K. Of course, that means your assets are huge and needs to plan properly. It takes around 3 months to plan the will. Lots of work

For people like us, a simple will is good enough. ARB RM250 is very good price. Does that RM250 includes storage of the will?

good resources...

now, where to WILL...

i am looking for a WILL to get the WILL done!!

recommend??

someone has mentioned....

Someone who has gone and wrote a will said to me Amanah Raya Berhad is a scam. So what she did was divide the stuff directly before she dies, she is still living btw. And if anything happens, transition of assets have already been done prior to that. Says that wills are not really the way to go. its more like changing names before getting into trouble. Well if you are 60+ then maybe you will start writing a will anyway. Don't think you have a lot of assets when you are 20+

One can do that, if he/she is confident the beneficiaries wouldn't "change" after receiving the money/property/item etc.

Like in Taiwan, they all do this. Perform complete transfer b4 passing away. Cos if not, the tax rate is 50% of the total estate.

why write will also so hard one meh?

not write on a A4 paper, get some witnesses, chop mohor, gao dim.
good game, end game. next life.

anyway, i'll write one if i have some estates or some important stuffs.. when i'm rich.. lol..

write how to divide the debt to our child to pay !!


if u don't have any asset, how u write the will also no people will comment since no thing for they to fight....

if u rich & so so so very rich, then.....u really need proper will writing...

in fact i would like to share that AIA does provide WILL writing services....i cant remember how much was the charges coz one of my relative did it thru AIA couple of years ago...wondering if its still available...hmm...

yeaps....do that if u r sure u wont suddenly die..cause if u do, your assets will be frozen and it will take a long time be4 anyone gets anything....and not only immediate family members can claim the amount, even your uncle aunty cousins and faraway relatives also can have a claim to it.....so quite the dangerous.

ARB is among the cheapest but not most efficient for wrting will AND getting probate after u mati. Their chareges are fixed. Lawyers? Charges are like squeezing the deceased asstes also not that fast.

Dividing assets b4 mati? I have heard stories of children who abandon theirs parents after getting hold of the asstes - not paying for medical bills/leaving parents alone etc.

How ever I agree that simple will should be enuf if dun hav a lot of assets but u still need will . If single to make sure govt does'nt get all your money. If married to make sure wife/children/ parents get a portion. I have heard too many sob stories. In laws dun want to giv wife/wife dun want to giv aged parents etc . SO make sure you update your life policies/EPF when u get married/have children. FYI, I even know of a case where an ex gf/fiancee was named as beneficiary - wife was not able to claim on the policy. Policy holder didnot/forgot to change. Until today I dun think that the ex gf knew the guy was dead or even made a claim
