What would be a typical price for having a Malaysian will drawn up by a well-established, trustworthy solicitor? Nothing complicated about it - no trusts or anything like that, only covering local assets.

5rm to 4-5 digit , totally depends on what u want actually .

If simple one where only 1 benefactor, can DIY

Useful link, thanks. But my will will have more than one beneficiary.

usually depends on complexity of the will as well.

i did mine probably 500, using a lawyer.

Simple will, can be done free. Just follow the format. But make sure need 2 witness that are not beneficiary. It's still a valid will. But if you have lots of assets and complicated beneficiaries, better pay a lawyer to minimise complications in case later someone challenges the will.

u can even ask a retired lawyer friend(if u have one) to do it for you
some retired lawyer do this as side business

the whole thing about will is that is only makes the process a little easier and faster, it doesn't really change much of the process and it's fees at the end

Goes by the number clauses. Typical about RM500 to 4-figures.

dont go for big ones...

just go to some mama papa lawyer firm will do...

they are much honest...

get a few witness from different places...

once will is written... immediately pass the will to all member of party at the same time... and together...

you go for big ones like some Rocks... who deals with wills... you will be asking for trouble with these pplz... a few friend of mine kena... so careful la.. when seggregating your stuffs ...

Well established solicitors generally won't do something as simple as a will, unless it's an extremely complex will pertaining to the distribution of assets or duties of the executor(s), unless you're paying way above market rate

As for other regular lawyers, charges from RM500-RM1k on average, for a simple will.

My parents just did theirs. Simple will. RM 99/person.

Is an executor needed ?

rockwill is big firm??

Can consider amanah raya or biro angkasa

think about it
no firm can grow so big by doing 1 business...no lawyer firms ever rely or just offer doing wills as their service
no funeral parlour ever grow big by doing funeral service alone....nirvana got so big because they're a real estate company, not a funeral parlour

Simple will, can use this
RM300

rm400 onwards

rockwill, few hundred to thousands. but typically few hundred

kena what? care to share more?

From what i gathered. writing a will is cheap but they end up being the executor holding everything and take a percentage cut from everything. The only good thing is they handle everything. the bad is they charge for everything.
