Plain-English wills and lasting powers of attorney for Singapore families. Prepared once, kept safe, easy to update.
Without one, Singapore law decides who receives what — in fixed shares, in its own time, through a court process your family has to start themselves while they are least able to.
We prepare wills, lasting powers of attorney and the nominations that sit alongside them — for families, business owners and anyone who would rather decide this themselves.
Most people assume a will covers everything they own. In Singapore, some of the largest assets sit outside it entirely. Switch the toggle and watch where each one really goes.
Based on the Intestate Succession Act 1967 and the CPF and insurance nomination rules as they stand in Singapore. General information only, not legal advice — your own outcome depends on how each asset is held. Muslim estates are distributed under Faraid and are handled separately.
The core document. Who receives what, who carries it out, and what happens if someone named in it passes before you. Written in plain English so your family can read it without a translator.
A will speaks after death. An LPA speaks while you are alive but unable to decide — who manages your money and your care. Most families discover they needed one at the worst possible moment.
The assets your will cannot touch. We list every policy and your CPF, check who is currently nominated, and align it all with the will so nothing contradicts.
The two decisions people put off hardest — who administers the estate, and who raises your children. We talk both through properly, including the backups.
Your signed original is stored safely and registered, and your executor knows where it is. Life changes; we revisit it with you when it does.
Not everyone needs one. Where a beneficiary is young, overseas or vulnerable, we explain the options honestly and bring in a solicitor where the estate calls for it.
Forty-five minutes, in person or over a call. What you own, how it is held, and who you want looked after. No forms to fill in beforehand.
We prepare the documents and walk you through them line by line, including the parts most people skip. You change anything you want changed.
Signed and witnessed correctly — the step that quietly invalidates the most wills. Then stored, registered, and your executor told where it lives.
Two witnesses, both present at the same time as you sign — not one after the other.
Neither witness may be a beneficiary or a beneficiary's spouse, or that gift is void.
The original must be findable. We lodge its location with the Wills Registry at the Public Trustee's Office.
Formalities under the Wills Act. We supervise all three at signing — drafted by Julian Oh.
No call centre, no rotating account manager, no template filled in by an assistant. Julian Oh sits with you, drafts the documents himself, and is the person you call in five years when something changes.
Yes. Singapore law requires that a will is in writing, signed by you, and witnessed by two people who are not beneficiaries or their spouses. It does not require a lawyer. What it does require is getting those formalities exactly right — and that is where most home-made wills fail.
One conversation of about forty-five minutes, then a draft back to you within a few days. Most people sign within two weeks of the first call.
It will. A marriage, a divorce, a new property, a child, a business sale — each one can change how your estate should be handled. We revisit your documents with you rather than leaving you with a file that quietly goes out of date.
Often yes. Joint holdings pass to the survivor, but that only moves the problem one step down the line — and CPF, insurance and anything held in your sole name still need instructions.
Leave your name and number and we will call you back. No obligation, and no cost for the first conversation.
