Grant of Probate

A testator may appoint any person to be an executor under his will provided that the person is willing and capable of acting as executor. Following the demise of the testator, the executor so appointed will have to apply for a Grant of Probate to administer the estate of the testator.

• “My professional association with the team at MWKA has spanned the better part of the past decade. First, when I served as the legal liaison at a statutory body through Ms Lesley Lim, and most recently for personal estate matters through Mr Aaron Liew and Mr Aqil Nasharuddin. In all instances, the team at MWKA has shown exemplary professionalism in conduct, forbearance to sudden queries and requests, and an ability to bring clarity to otherwise murky legalese that would be unfathomable to laypersons. I would heartily recommend their services.” – SS,T Esq
