WHEN THERE IS A DEATH….. YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS
We specialise in Probate/Letter of Administration and have handled hundreds of such cases for our clients.
When a loved one has passed away, leaving behind cash, shares, real estate, financial assets, and other assets (all these are called “the Deceased’s Estate”), the Deceased’s Estate needs to be dealt with and distributed under Singapore Law.
The Court will appoint a person to be the Executor or Administrator to administer the Deceased’s Estate.
If there is a Will, the Will will state the person(s) appointed as Executor(s) to administer the Deceased’s Estate according to the Will. (called “Probate”)
If there is no Will, the Court will appoint the Administrator(s) to administer the Deceased’s Estate according to Singapore Law. (called “Letter of Administration”)
1. Find out whether there was a Will made by the Deceased, or no Will was made by the Deceased. If there is a Will, the Original Will is needed by the Court.
