Probate & Letters of Administration

Losing a loved one is difficult, and navigating the legal process of administering their estate can feel overwhelming. Messrs. Heng Xu & Associates provides clear, compassionate guidance to families and beneficiaries, ensuring the deceased's assets are distributed lawfully and without unnecessary delay.

Our Probate & Letters of Administration practice covers both testate (with a will) and intestate (without a will) estates. We assist clients with:

• Grant of Probate: Applying to the High Court to validate a will and authorise the executor to administer the estate.
• Letters of Administration: Obtaining court authority for next-of-kin to administer the estate when the deceased left no will.
• Small Estate Distribution: Handling estates that fall under the jurisdiction of the Land Office (Pejabat Tanah) for estates valued below the statutory threshold.
• Estate Distribution & Asset Transfer: Transferring property titles, bank accounts, shares, and other assets to rightful beneficiaries.
• Contentious Probate: Representing clients in disputes over wills, executor conduct, or beneficiary entitlements.
• Will Drafting & Estate Planning Advisory: Helping clients structure their affairs to minimise complications for loved ones.

We understand that every family's situation is unique, and we approach each matter with the discretion and care it deserves.
