First, we write wills for those living in Malaysia. After reading what is mentioned here, I agree that every country laws are quite different. Where I live, we go by English common law but even then, our probate laws with regards to inheritance might not make sense to those from elsewhere.

This is a good article especially the call to consult an expert unless it is a very simple and straightforward situation. Most people usually think their situation is simple until we really sit down and go through with them.

What Lillie mentioned about free or cheap services from financial services co like brokers happens here too. You get a low cost will but then you have to use them as executors. Fees later could be a big question mark.

Speaking from personal experience, seeking the services of a good attorney is worth the investment. It’s important to make sure that your wishes are carried out as you envision them. Good intentions do not count toward the survivors’ well fare after someone’s death in the end. Just an additional point, be sure that discounted services offered through a credit card or some other plan meets your needs and are spelled out clearly.
