a cheaper alternative would be to go thru Public trustee - PBTSB (if you have public mutual trust agent to contact, he/she can help you on this..).  A simple standard Will cost less than RM500 - with free life time Custodyand.  And if you are a PBbank platinum card holder or Pbank REd Cardpet customer, you are entitle to 50% discount...

I have some questions. I'm new here, please forgive. To write a will, for example, my father consults a lawyer and made an appointment to sign the agreement. He and i, i'm still a minor, go to the appointed date.

He signed it and off he go. Again, i'm a minor and i know nothing.

Question:

1. What if that lawyer 'abuse' or 'modify' the agreement before the signing, for his/her benefits purposes? And my father couldn't read English.

2. What if that lawyer, 'gone' or liquidated? Who will later manages my father's will?

Normally any beneficiary who are NOT the kin/legacy of your father would raise suspicious and if indeed found out the lawyer will face penalty so big that he can only be a con man for the rest of his life. So unless its once of life time 'lubang' like 12 millions and above, its unlikely the lawyer will do such thing ... if he is a real lawyer to start with ...

A prevention method is to find another lawyer to analyse the 'health' of your will. Or just find someone he trusts ( not whom you trust ) to translate for him.
