If Im not mistaken, you cant name GF/BF as beneficiary of life insurance in malaysia.

Not too sure, but if claim inheritance i think 'will' quite powerful, even more than marriage cert. I think the court will layan the 'will' > marriage cert. Lawyers will suggests you to do it, but not sure it's just because they want cari makan. But they say if no will, other parties such as children and parents have a percentage of what the decease leaves behind, if they choose to dispute, if no dispute then no issue.

But, maybe, for kwsp/perkeso/insurance, cert > will. Kwsp has nomination, but perkeso, the checklist is marriage cert to be entitled for it's benefits, as it's for "spouse and children". Not sure if a will can replace a cert in this case.

Power of Attorney

reason not to sign a legal marriage paper

Religious reasons

Nons can have kids with both the father and mother in the child’s birth cert even they are not married

my parents were not legally married but so far no issue with the birth certs,etc

a lot of old people were not legally married too so dont be surprised

For you i might be retard but to be honest i have no regrets. After all my GF1 already with me for so many years. Money minded or not can know already and not all but KWSP 50% to them while 50% and all the money in bank to family

Is this proven. Does this also apply to foreigner relationship?

If you (assuming you’re Malaysian male) put your name on the birth certificate for the child, the child can be a Malaysian citizen yes.

Hi all, I did not dig too much before posting.
Is anyone here in a committed relationship but not legally married in the country, and with no plans to do so, or close to anyone in this kind of relationship? (not sure if there is a term for that)

Can i put mother's name assume she is illegal and can i register them as Indonesian not Malaysian.

if you dont have a legal marriage cert, most likely the child will follow the citizenship of the mother, not sure the latest rules [malaysian father] are in place or not
not really, without a legal marriage cert, the child follows the mother's [foreigner] citizenship, BUT, there new laws that states that child can be malaysian is father is malaysian

Nons can have kids with both the father and mother in the child’s birth cert even they are not married

you will get the (permohanan seksyen 13) on the birth cert
the child can't inherit father wealth

Just create a will or better if not mistaken with Amanah Raya if your will have specific requets. I plan to nominate Amanah Raya for my EPF

Amanah Raya? That’s like a public trustee, isn’t it? I thought you were going to get your sister to administer your will?

Amanah Raya might take sometimes. For now nominees will be my sister until i figure out the allocation for them. Also i will inform my sister about my will with Amanah Raya to prevent dispute. As we never know future what will happen. What if we both gone together
