Probate is the legal process of verifying a will and authorising an executor to manage the estate. Not every estate requires it — smaller estates may be administered through the Amanah Raya or Small Estates Distribution Unit. We can assess your situation and point you toward the appropriate path.

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the estate, court scheduling, and whether all parties are in agreement. A straightforward probate matter may take six to twelve months. Where there are disputes or multiple assets, it can take longer. We keep you informed throughout.

When someone passes without a will, their estate is distributed according to the Distribution Act 1958 (for non-Muslims) or Faraid rules (for Muslims). An administrator will need to apply for Letters of Administration. We assist families in navigating this process with as little difficulty as possible.
