Wills are legal documents that contain information about a testator’s property inheritance. 

While death can be an uncomfortable discussion, a will ensures there are no discrepancies regarding the deceased person’s assets.

In Singapore, the Wills Act governs the legal proceedings.

How does a lawyer help in drafting a will?

• Lawyers assist you to enlist all your assets and liabilities. They can help you manage debts before the beneficiaries receive their shares.
• Lawyers can act as executors of the will. They are not a beneficiary and work in your interest, even in your absence.
• Will attorneys can help you draft a revocation cause to revoke any previous wills that you may have.
• Lawyers can also assist in including a residuary clause, which states what happens to a beneficiary’s share if they pass away before you.
