WILL, PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION

WILL, PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION

At Wong Partnership, we advise business owners, investors, high-net-worth individuals and cross-border families on strategic estate planning, probate and estate administration matters in Malaysia.

We understand that wealth preservation is not merely about succession, it is about safeguarding businesses, investments, real estate portfolios and family interests across generations. Our approach combines legal precision with commercial foresight to ensure that assets are structured, protected and transferred efficiently.

Whether planning ahead or navigating estate administration after a loss, we provide discreet, structured and solutions-driven advice tailored to each client’s financial and family circumstances.

We deal with all matters related to the administration and distribution of estates of deceased persons. This includes preparing and filing originating summon at the High Court for the issuance of grants of probate or letter of administration and providing assistance in obtaining letter of administration in respect of small estates matters. These services extend to rendering advice to executors and administrators of estates in relation to their duties in law and implementing the transmission and transfer of the property of the deceased to beneficiaries. We also offer wills writing and custody services to our ever-expanding clientele.
