The total wealth and possessions of a person is called the Estate. A piece of jewelry or an art collection is considered part of your estate. Each item needs to listed in the Will. How to list these items of the Estate and assign beneficiaries, is where professional will writers with a national standardized template come in to guide you in the process. They can guide you on what item of wealth is to be listed in the Will, in line with the laws of Malaysia. If this is not done, then items not listed in the Will, but belonging to the Estate of the deceased, will be considered as the residual estate. If the residual estate is not treated correctly in the Will, it will be treated as intestate. Then the government steps in and distributes the wealth according to the Distribution Act of Malaysia.
