Will

It is always beneficial to draw up a will as one is able to devise and distribute his/her estate as and how he/she wishes, taking care of loved ones, especially where young children are involved; avoiding issues of will not having been executed properly or validly or being made under the improper influence or lack of mental capacity, etc.

Enduring Power of Attorney

When a business owner or a parent is alive but lack the mental capacity to look after themselves or their family, it means trouble in that:

(a) finances that are needed are not immediately available;
(b) application has to be made to a court for a person to be appointed before his/her finances can be dealt with, which can be time and costs consuming.

All these can be saved by an Enduring Power of Attorney.

FAQ

What if someone dies without a will

Without a will, the estate may be tied up in a long legal process. Legal fees can quickly reduce what’s left for your loved ones. We help resolve intestacy cases efficiently and with minimal stress to your family.

Why probate necessary

Probate is a process whereby the person(s) appointed by a Will or without a Will apply to the Probate Court for a grant of representation to administer the estate of the deceased and thereafter distribute it. We handle all stages of probate — with or without a will — and provide guidance to minimize disputes, costs, and delays.

Why should I make a will?

A clear will ensures your wishes are followed and your family is protected. It prevents confusion, reduces the risk of disputes, and gives you peace of mind. Tse Yuen Ting Wong & Associates can help you structure your estate to reflect your values.

What if I suspect a will was forged or signed under pressure?

These concerns are serious. We handle objections to probate with forged signatures, and cases involving undue influence or lack of capacity with the professionalism and urgency they deserve.

What questons should I ask a probate lawyer

Ask about experience, costs and how they handle disputes, and whether they consider tax implications. Tse Yuen Ting Wong & Associates are known for being efficient and solution focused.
