Client Reviews
Tan Kim Huat
George Town, Penang · Estate Planning
"My wife and I had been putting off making a will for years because we did not know where to begin. Ahmad Hafiz made the meeting feel like a proper conversation rather than a legal appointment. We came away with a written note summarising our options, which we read through at home before deciding. The drafting was completed within two weeks of our second meeting."

Faridah Abdullah
Butterworth, Penang · Probate Administration
"My father passed away without a will and I did not know what to do. Siew Lin explained the letters of administration process step by step, and whenever there was news from the court or a bank she sent a written update the same day. The whole administration took about eleven months which she told me to expect from the start. I appreciated the honesty."

Rajan Velayutham
Bayan Lepas, Penang · Dispute Resolution
"There was a disagreement among my siblings about our late mother's estate. Rajendran handled it with remarkable composure. He pushed us toward a mediated settlement before it reached a full hearing, which saved everyone — including the relationship with my brother — from a much worse outcome. I am genuinely grateful for that approach."

Lim Mei Shan
Tanjung Tokong · Estate Planning
"I came in following my mother's passing, wanting to make sure my own affairs were in order before anything happened to me. The consultation addressed things I had not considered — EPF nominations, insurance trusts, what happens to property held in joint names. The fee was reasonable and the written note they provided afterwards was something I could share with my husband."

Nor Azlina Zakaria
Air Itam · Probate Administration
"Dealing with my husband's estate while managing young children was very difficult. Siew Lin at Waris Mulia took most of the administrative burden off my hands. The updates she sent were clear and written so that I could understand what was happening without needing a legal background. The estate was eventually distributed to my children properly."

Chan Swee Teng
Balik Pulau · Dispute Resolution
"A long-standing dispute about our grandfather's estate had been unresolved for three years before we engaged Rajendran. He reviewed the file, identified the key point of disagreement clearly, and within four months had negotiated a settlement that all parties accepted. The result was fair and — more importantly — achieved without destroying what remained of the family's relationship."

Selected Case Summaries
Challenge
An elderly couple held property registered in the husband's name alone, had EPF accounts with outdated nominations, and had never discussed what should happen to a family business interest. Their two adult children held different views about the family's assets.
Approach
A joint estate planning consultation was held with both spouses and a separate session with each adult child to understand their expectations. Asset mapping identified gaps in nominations. The planning note set out three possible structures for the couple to consider over two weeks.
Outcome
New wills executed for both spouses, EPF nominations updated, and a testamentary trust structure drafted for the business interest with agreed succession terms. Family reached consensus before any drafting began.
Challenge
A widow needed to administer her late husband's estate, which included three properties in Penang, two bank accounts, a unit trust portfolio, and a share of a Kedah-based land holding. No will existed. Four adult children were beneficiaries.
Approach
Letters of administration obtained through Penang High Court. Each asset class was handled through the appropriate authority — land registry for properties, Amanah Raya for smaller balances, direct bank liaison for accounts. The Kedah land was coordinated with a correspondent firm.
Outcome
Estate fully administered and distributed within 14 months. All four beneficiaries received their shares with a final written distribution account. The widow received assistance in updating her own estate documents following completion.
Challenge
One of three siblings disputed a will that left the family home entirely to the eldest sibling. The disputing party alleged that the testator lacked capacity at the time of signing and that the will had been executed under pressure.
Approach
File review identified that medical records from the relevant period were available and would likely support the will's validity. The opposing party was invited to a mediation session before any court proceedings were commenced.
Outcome
A negotiated arrangement reached in mediation — the eldest sibling retained the property but agreed to a financial adjustment to the other two. No court hearing was required. All three siblings attended their father's subsequent memorial occasion together.
