Probate & Estate Administration - What Happens After a Family Member Dies?
After a death, families often face questions about what happens to the deceased’s property, bank accounts and other assets. The process depends on the existence of a valid Will, the types of assets involved and whether beneficiaries can agree. Where there is a Will, the Court may issue a Grant of Probate to confirm the executor’s authority; where there is no Will, an application for Letters of Administration may be required. Property transfers usually cannot be done informally, especially where there are mortgages, joint ownership or other registered interests. Families should gather key documents (death certificate, original Will, title and bank records, insurance and liability documents) and seek legal advice early.

Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
RE (SPA) | Do The Buyer And Seller Need To Use The Same Lawyer?
Many people assume that the buyer and seller must use the same lawyer in a property transaction. In reality, each party is generally free to appoint their own lawyer.
While using the same law firm may appear convenient, the buyer and seller often have different interests. A buyer may be concerned about vacant possession, defects, or title issues, while a seller may focus on receiving the purchase price and completing the transaction
Having separate lawyers means each party receives independent legal advice tailored to their own interests. This can reduce misunderstandings and help ensure that both parties fully understand their rights before signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement
RE (SPA) | What Are The Benefits Of Appointing Your Own Lawyer?
By appointing your own lawyer, you have someone whose primary responsibility is to protect your interests.
Your lawyer can explain important contractual terms, identify potential risks, advise on timelines, and assist in resolving issues that may arise during the transaction.
Moreover, isn't it ideal to get a lawyer that provides all the updates of your case regularly rather than a lawyer who needs you to knock him/her every time an update is needed.
A property transaction may last only a few months, but its legal consequences can last for many years.
RE (SPA) | Must My Loan Lawyer Also Be My SPA Lawyer?
A common misconception among home buyers is that the lawyer handling the bank loan must also be the lawyer handling the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
In fact, these are two separate legal matters. The Sale and Purchase Agreement governs the transaction between the buyer and seller, while the loan documentation governs the relationship between the borrower and the bank.
Buyers may appoint different lawyers for each matter. Some banks may have their own panel requirements for loan documentation, but this does not necessarily prevent a buyer from engaging another lawyer for the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
RE (SPA) | Will I Pay More If I Appoint My Own Lawyer?
Many buyers worry that appointing a separate lawyer will significantly increase their legal costs but actually they don't differ much.
However, the more important consideration is whether you are receiving independent advice and adequate attention to your transaction.
When purchasing a property worth hundreds of thousands of ringgit or more, choosing legal representation based solely on convenience may not always be the best approach.
PROBATE | My Father Passed Away. What Should I Do First?
The passing of a parent is emotionally overwhelming. Besides arranging the funeral, it is important to gather key documents such as the death certificate, identification documents, property titles, bank account information, and any Will left by the deceased. Seeking proper legal advice early can help avoid delays and ensure the estate is administered correctly.
PROBATE | Can I Move My Late Father's Assets?
Family members are not entitled to withdraw funds simply because they are the children or the next-of-kin. A Grant of Probate or Letter of Administration may be required before the estate can be dealt with. Understanding the necessary legal requirements early prevent families from acting out of power.
PROBATE | Can We Sell Our Late Father's House Immediately?
Many families assume that a property automatically belongs to the children after a parent's passing. NOPE. Until the proper authority is obtained, the property generally cannot be transferred or sold. This often becomes an issue when there is a ready buyer or urgent financial needs.
PROBATE | Probate vs LA: What's The Difference?
A Grant of Probate is generally required when the deceased left a valid Will and appointed an executor to manage the estate. The executor applies to the court to obtain legal authority to administer the estate. A Letter of Administration, on the other hand, is typically required when the deceased did not leave a Will or where there is no executor able to act.
PROBATE | How Long Does Probate Take In Malaysia?
Straightforward probate matters can proceed relatively smooth, even if the estate of deceased involve multiple properties or business interests. Lawyers who understand the process and requirements are usually in a better position to deliver results accordingly. We estimate a time-frame of 1 to 2 months to complete the application process from the day papers are file at Court.
