Wills & Estates

Planning today for tomorrow's certainty

Dying without a valid will in Singapore means your estate is distributed according to intestacy rules, which may not reflect your intentions — particularly for blended families, unmarried partners, or individuals with assets in multiple jurisdictions. A properly drafted will gives you control over who receives what, who administers your estate, and who cares for dependent children.

At Legal Peace of Mind, we guide clients through every decision involved in estate planning. We explain the role of executors and trustees, discuss specific gifts and residuary clauses, and ensure the will is executed correctly under Singapore law so it stands up to scrutiny when the time comes.

Services we provide

• Will drafting and review — New wills tailored to your family structure and asset profile, plus periodic reviews when circumstances change.
• Lasting powers of attorney — Appointing trusted donees to manage financial and personal welfare matters if you lose mental capacity.
• Executor and trustee guidance — Advising appointed executors on their duties, timelines, and obligations during estate administration.
• Cross-border considerations — Guidance for clients with property or family members outside Singapore.
• Beneficiary planning — Structuring gifts for minor children, vulnerable beneficiaries, or charitable bequests.

When to update your will

Life changes frequently, and your will should keep pace. We recommend reviewing your estate plan after major events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, significant asset acquisitions, or the death of a beneficiary or executor. Even without such events, a review every three to five years ensures your documents remain current with both your wishes and the law.

The process

We begin with a consultation to understand your family structure, assets, and objectives. We then prepare a draft will for your review, explain each clause, and make revisions based on your feedback. Once finalised, we oversee proper execution — including witnessing requirements — and provide certified copies for your records.
