They end up being the executor?? Conflict of interest dah.

If so, better find a normal lawyer to do will better that doesn't have this clause.

You can just pay for your Will drafting la.

Executor usually most people appoint same as beneficiary.

Then your beneficiary/ executor can go to any experience lawyer to file the court papers for Grant of Probate. Usually lump sum ard 5K.

Caveat Emptor. There are a LOT of useless lawyers. Just like doctors.

If your Will is simple - everything goes to beneficiary A and if A doesn't survive you, then everything goes to beneficiary B -
then can DIY using a standard template FOC.

Get 2 witnesses with the following criterias
1. Msian citizen
2. Above 18
3. Sound mind and body - eg. employed somewhere is good enough
4. Easily contactable - in case your Will is challenged im court
5. Nothing else related to your Will - cannot be beneficiary, executor etc.
