Estate Administration and Will Writing Services in Malaysia

Estate administration is the process of managing and distributing a deceased person's assets according to their will or, in the absence of a will, according to the Distribution Act 1958. In Malaysia, this process can be complex and time-consuming, often taking months or even years to complete. Mega Trustee Berhad offers professional estate administration services designed to simplify this process and ensure that beneficiaries receive their rightful inheritance without unnecessary delays.

When a person passes away, their estate must go through a legal process to settle outstanding debts, pay applicable taxes, and distribute remaining assets to the designated beneficiaries. Without proper planning, this process can be fraught with disputes, legal challenges, and administrative burdens that place additional stress on grieving families. Mega Trustee's estate administration team provides expert guidance and hands-on support throughout every stage of the process.

Our services begin with a comprehensive assessment of the deceased's estate, including the identification and valuation of all assets, liabilities, and beneficiaries. We then work with the appointed executor or administrator to obtain the necessary legal documentation, such as a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, and manage the orderly distribution of assets in accordance with the will or applicable law.

Will writing is a critical component of effective estate planning, yet studies indicate that a significant proportion of Malaysians do not have a valid will in place. Mega Trustee's professional will writing service helps individuals articulate their wishes clearly and legally, ensuring that their assets are distributed according to their intentions. Our team guides clients through the process of identifying beneficiaries, appointing executors and guardians, and addressing special considerations such as business succession and charitable bequests.

For those seeking additional protection, our insurance trust services provide a mechanism for directing life insurance proceeds into a trust, bypassing the estate administration process entirely. This ensures that beneficiaries receive insurance payouts quickly and efficiently, without the delays and costs associated with probate. The insurance trust also provides protection from creditor claims, ensuring that the policy proceeds are preserved for the intended beneficiaries.

Mega Trustee is committed to helping Malaysians plan their legacy with confidence, offering accessible and professional estate planning solutions that protect families and preserve wealth for future generations.
