What Does It Mean?

Will is a crucial legal document that allows you to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away. It not only specifies who should receive your assets but also covers other critical matters such as the appointment of guardians for minor children & the creation of trusts.

However, the distribution of assets through a will requires a legal process known as Probate, which verifies the will’s validity & enables the assets to be distributed to the intended beneficiaries. If you die without a will in Singapore, your assets will be distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act, which outlines a specific order of priority for the distribution of assets among surviving relatives.
