Estate Planning and Property Transfer Guide for Non-Muslim Malaysians
Estate planning is the process of arranging for the disposal of your assets and properties after your death. It is an important step for everyone, but often overlooked.
Why is estate planning important?
There are many benefits to estate planning, including:
- Ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to the intestacy laws of Malaysia. This may not be in accordance with your wishes.
- Protecting your loved ones from financial hardship. If you do not have an estate plan, this could cause them financial hardship.
- Minimizing probate fees. Probate is the process of administering an estate after a person’s death. Probate fees can be expensive. An estate plan can help to minimize these fees.
What is involved in estate planning?
Estate planning typically involves the following steps:
- Creating a will. A will is a legal document that states how you want your assets to be distributed after your death.
- Choosing beneficiaries. Beneficiaries are the people who will inherit your assets after your death.
- Naming an executor. An executor is the person who will be responsible for carrying out the terms of your will.
- Creating trusts. Trusts can be used to hold assets for the benefit of others.
- Making gifts. Gifts can be used to transfer assets to others during your lifetime.
