Not much inheritance. Just want to make sure he doesn’t have any financial products under his own name. So far all joint owned with my bro and I don’t have any intend to get the that money.
Just trying to contact his old friends and let them know that he is at his final stage

No charge cos my relative. I'm executor for his Will so we see who go first. Haha.

But I will need to withdraw 10-20K from his bank to hire lawyer submit the Grant of Probate after his funeral arrangements

Btw, don't forget to claim RM1K from epf if deceased is member. Many don't realise cos only focus on insurance.

Ya have been asking my siblings whether my dad has any financial products under his own name

Anyway, just to update
My dad has passed away this morning.
I have contacted Xiao en and nirvana.
Nirvana very quick service, send their agent over to hospital now to talk to me directly

Just hire the agent to arrange all the funeral ritual for u. It's worth the money. Many samgu lokpo will bising2 about "proper" ritual if u didnt hire one. Last time my MIL funeral handled by nirvana, even that also got relative go marah2 the agent for not following the ritual etc. Insane one. At least they dont bising kaw the grieving direct family. I pay the agent extra tips. kesian him

My father is at hospital now. Don’t think can make it these few days
Hence start to prepare for the funeral.
Already got a burial ground back in hometown. It’s a shared lot with my grandparents and uncles.

Just a matter to go through the rites and bring back to hometown.
Plan to have the funeral service in KL before, cremate and bring back the ashes to hometown

How to kickstart the whole thing? Either Taoist or Buddhist rite. Likely Taoist.

The funeral shop will approach the family?

Any tip is appreciated. Thank you

Sorry to hear that. Just pick a good funeral parlor to take care of it. The manager will give you options to decide and instruct everything from A to Z.

I was once at your spot. Then just learn and understand the process along the way.

How much executor charge?

executor is just the authorised person to manage your will,.. the one who hold the surat kuasa,.. normally it's the deceased trusted family/relative/friends,.. last time my elder brother die,.. my younger brother is the executor,.. no charge,..it will be in the will who is the executor,...

Not necessarily la, there are cheap package and there are giler babi packages

Dont limit urself to nirvana , there are plenty of other funeral parlors who offered the same and simplified services at much lower price
Nirvana is for folks like Mahathir

They can tailor it according to your budget.

There are so many variables you can opt out, like not having a full band, how many days of wake, what kinda procession, selection of vehicles u know stuff like that etc..

At the end of the day, it’s your family’s funeral and your belief in the religion. They can upsell a lot of shit to you if you are rich and or if you are a person anal about those pantang parang.

Those salesman will tell you “oh if you don’t perform this rite, your family fortune will be in the gutter for 3 generations to come etc “ oh they know how to reel you in.

That’s why Christian funeral is the simplest. Just hire a room, get the pastor and church ppl to help you and bobs ur uncle. Some pastors will even do it for free.
