you will never know whats ganna happen tomorrow....there is no harm in doing early....

i know cuz part of my job is preparing will for others...

but then my bank account usually less than RM10...
and those KWSP/insurance, i already assign beneficiary...
so i don think i have any assets anymore.....

But my mum has her name included in my house and bank account already. Maybe later.

Same here

lol...fix ur shopping problem first

So writing a will makes things faster and easier right?

Then do we need to pay for will? How much usually?

I found it strange that you prepare will for others but not yourself.

Along the years, you will accumulate more assets but may forget to write a will

Wow, but for me paying 500-1000 for a will is a big amount.

It depends on how much assets you have or any dependent?
If you have no dependent, and only say RM1k in the bank; why a will unless someones depends on the RM1k for life. That's just my opinion.

What is there to fix? I have a stable income where I can afford my shoppings, properties and my bank account is not with zero balance.

when i really have assets then i'll get a will cuz its no point you get it when u have nothing but only debts.... this will trouble your family too....

Not easy process... better leave to professionals. Example :-

Keeping the will, is another consideration. Some companies provide such service, for a fee.

Why do I often hear others to talk about your shopping issue. Guys, just leave her alone. Afterall, she is spending her money, her very own hard earned money.

Having said so, I do encourage saving. Seeing your money /assets growing is very rewarding (or is it just me?)

Thanks for your reply. At least I now know roughly how much a will cost

Anyone of you have any idea about will writing or have made a will. What would be the best way?, go to a lawyer and get it done or....

Please advise as I want to make one just in case something bad happens.

This thread might be useful, http://www.myklang.com/forum/why-will-writing-t-1941-2.html ,

can actually write it yourself...there are standard formats; you need to get two witnesses to see you sign - but they don't need to know the content

otherwise, can go to Rockwills, OSK wealth planners

Not recommended to DIY or lawyer. Better get professional will writer as mentioned by leongal

Depends on how complicated is your life if simple DIY is just good enuf. There was an article earlier this week/last week in the STAR on will writing or the need for it. Very informative !! Do not advise getting Rockwill or similiar. If you want, better get lawyer.

There are a lot of personal financial consultants do offer will writing as part of their service also (besides selling insurance and investment links schemes).

Nowadays insurance agent no longer call themselve insurance agents. Instead they are so called "financial consultant" as they provide everything you need regarding hedging your risk and your investments.

Do find out more and I believe everyone sure have their friends who are into this business. If you have none you can PM me for more info.

May i know why getting Rockwill or similar is not good? Care to share?
