"I came to Tegak Advocate wanting to have a will drawn up. I had put it off for some time because I did not know where to start. The process was explained properly at the first meeting, and the draft came back in language I could actually read. The review meeting gave me time to ask about two things I was not certain about. I left with something I understand and feel settled about."

"The probate process for my late father's estate took longer than I had hoped, but I was told from the start that timelines depend on the courts, not on the practice. What I appreciated was that I was kept informed — not with unnecessary letters, but with a message when something had actually moved. That made a difficult period more manageable."

"My husband and I both wanted to put our living documents in place after seeing what a family member had to go through without them. We came in not really knowing what was needed. The work was done across two meetings — unhurried — and at the end we had three documents that fitted together and that we both understood. The fee was as stated, nothing additional."

"I used another firm for an earlier matter and found myself paying for correspondence I did not ask for. At Tegak Advocate the communication was different — purposeful. The will I had drafted here is written in a way that my children will be able to read it without needing to call a lawyer to explain it."

"I came as executor for my mother's estate. The office was straightforward about what documentation was needed and what was not — I had gathered some things unnecessarily based on advice I had read online. The application was handled without fuss and I was told clearly what to expect at each point. The outcome was a grant of probate after about seven months."

"The power of attorney I had prepared previously by another firm was not specific enough for the situation it was needed in. Tegak Advocate helped me put together a new set — power of attorney, living will, and supporting instructions — drafted together, which was the difference. Each document made sense in relation to the others. We went through everything at the review meeting and I was not rushed."

Three Matters, How They Were Handled
A retiree in Putrajaya, first will
THE SITUATION
The client had reached retirement age with no will in place. He had a clear sense of his wishes but had assumed a will would require complicated legal language he could not follow. He was also unsure whether to include a family property jointly held with a sibling.
THE APPROACH
The initial consultation clarified the scope and explained what a will could and could not cover in relation to jointly held property. A first draft was prepared in plain language. The client asked for one adjustment at the review meeting. The will was executed at a second appointment.
THE OUTCOME
A valid, clearly written will in place within six weeks of the first meeting. The client retained two copies and the joint property question was noted in supporting instructions for clarity. Fee: RM 700 as stated.
"I had expected it to be more complicated than it was. The document is readable, which is what I wanted."
An executor in Cyberjaya, straightforward estate
THE SITUATION
The client had been named executor in her father's will but was unfamiliar with the probate process. She had gathered some documentation but was uncertain what else was required and how long the process would take.
THE APPROACH
A documentation checklist was provided at the first meeting. The probate application was drafted and filed at the High Court. Updates were provided when the application had been received, when a hearing date was set, and when the grant was issued.
THE OUTCOME
Grant of probate issued approximately eight months from the date of filing. The executor understood the timeline from the outset and found the wait manageable because she knew what to expect. Fee: RM 1,200 as stated.
"I was told the wait would be significant, and it was. But knowing that in advance made it easier."
A couple in Presint 4, planning ahead
THE SITUATION
A couple in their late fifties wanted to put a full set of living documents in place after a family friend had been unable to manage a parent's affairs due to a lack of documentation. They wanted to act before the need arose.
THE APPROACH
Two meetings were held — one to gather information and explain the options, and one to review the three documents prepared for each party. Each document was read through aloud at the review meeting. The scope of the power of attorney was adjusted at the second meeting based on the clients' preferences.
THE OUTCOME
Each person left with a power of attorney, living will, and beneficiary instructions — six documents in total — drafted as coordinated pairs. All properly executed. Fee: RM 1,600 per person as stated; both matters were separate engagements.
"The documents read as a set rather than as three separate forms. That was exactly what we had been looking for."
