Who Do I Go To?

          With the recent proliferation of people offering such services, you may be confused about who to see. There are free-lance Will writers, Will-writing companies, trustee companies, law firms and even banks. The obvious choice is to go with the company most well-known and established for estate planning. Rockwills have been in the estate planning business for 21 years and we have now written more than 180,000 Wills, set up more than 8,000 Trusts, more than RM 2 Billion assets under trust.

Can I Do It On My Own?

          Yes you can. However, you must ensure it is written in compliance with various laws including the Inheritance (Family Provision) Act 1971 and the Will Act 1959 and the Trustee Act 1949.

          Better to leave it to the expert. Your Will may be invalid if it is improperly written and as a result may cause hardship to your family. You may save some small money now but it will cost your family much more to repair the damage later.

Why do I Need A Will? (2)

          Writing a Will is about creating a legacy of love and protecting the little treasures you have. You can also decide the beneficiaries of your choice, when to benefit them and how much to benefit them.

          Moreover, over the years your assets may grow and our Will can cover future acquired assets as well as future inherited assets without re-writing it if you do not wish to do so. Besides, if you have young children, you can also appoint guardians for them through a Will. And writing a Will will ensure that your beneficiaries can inherit your estate sooner.

Why do I Need A Will? (1)

          With a Will, the time to complete distribution is considerably shortened and you avoid the need for sureties/guarantors and the need to search for and agree on a reliable administrator. You can also ensure that the welfare of your children are taken care of by appointing a guardian while you still retain control over your assets even after writing your Will.

          You are never too young to write a Will and protect your loved ones from hassle and delay. Accidents or terminal illness can happen to the young too. Moreover, the Wills Act 1959 also states that a person must be mentally sound or have mental capacity to write their Will. So, do not wait until you are too old or sick before you write your Will as it might be too late.
