5. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, design, and structure — is the property of Tegak Advocate. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or use it for commercial purposes without prior written permission. Documents prepared for a Client in the course of an engagement are the property of the Client upon payment of the agreed fee.

6. Payment Terms

Fees are charged in Malaysian Ringgit (RM). The fees stated on this website are the fees for each standard service as described. Payment terms are set out in the engagement letter issued at the start of each matter. Accepted payment methods will be confirmed at the time of engagement.

Where a matter falls outside the standard scope, additional fees will be discussed and agreed before additional work commences. No invoice will include charges that were not agreed in advance.

7. Service-Specific Terms

Will Drafting: The Practice will prepare a draft will based on information provided by the Client. The Client is responsible for ensuring the information provided is accurate and complete. The will takes effect only upon proper execution; the Practice will advise on the execution requirements.

Probate Filing: The Practice will prepare and file the probate application on behalf of the executor. Timelines depend on court scheduling and are outside the Practice's control. Realistic timelines will be provided at the start of the engagement but are not a commitment to a specific outcome date.

Living Document Set: The Practice will prepare a coordinated set of living documents based on the Client's instructions. The Client is responsible for reviewing each document and raising any concerns before execution. The scope and applicability of advance care directives may vary depending on individual circumstances and applicable law.

8. Disclaimers

The information on this website is for general information only and does not constitute legal advice. The Services constitute legal advice in the context of an established client-practice relationship governed by the Legal Profession Act 1976.

The Practice does not warrant any particular legal outcome. Legal proceedings and court processes involve factors outside the Practice's control. The Practice will conduct each matter with reasonable skill and care.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by Malaysian law, the Practice's liability to any Client in respect of any matter shall not exceed the fees paid by that Client for the relevant Service.

The Practice shall not be liable for delays caused by court processes, third-party services, or circumstances outside its reasonable control.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement by written notice. Where the Client terminates, fees for work completed to the date of termination are payable. Where the Practice terminates, the Client will be given reasonable notice and the file will be transferred as requested. Obligations of confidentiality survive termination.

11. Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Malaysia.

The Practice is also subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Malaysian Bar Council under the Legal Profession Act 1976. Complaints about professional conduct may be directed to the Bar Council.

12. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force. A failure by either party to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

These Terms, together with any engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between the Practice and the Client in respect of the relevant Services.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the website or engagement of Services after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
