Affordable Probate Lawyers

Q: What documents should I bring along?

When dealing with a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration we usually only need 1 to 2 meetings to get everything prepared. When coming for your meeting, you will need to bring along the following documents: For Grant of Probate Original Will of the deceased ; Original Death Certificate of the deceased ; Original NRIC of the executors. For Letters of Administration Original death certificate of the deceased person; Original NRIC of the administrator; and Photocopies of NRIC and Birth Certificates of all the beneficiaries.

Q: Do I really need to hire a lawyer?

Whilst it is possible to apply for probate without a lawyer, the process is complex and time consuming. There is a large volume of documents to be completed and submitted. Given the circumstances, it is highly advisable to hire a reputable law firm to handle the matter on your behalf. It will save you a significant amount of time and effort, whilst also ensuring a successful application.

Q: How long does the process take?

Assuming the matter is not contentious, it typically takes around 1-2 months to complete the process.

Have just completed my grant of probate process today. Thanks to legal manager, Christina Lim, the whole process was made seamless from the very beginning and took only 2 months plus to complete. Christina gave very clear guidance right from the start and provided very timely update throughout the process. A request to update the schedule of assets after the initial court filing was smoothly handled without much fuss. Thank you for the great service - I will not hesitate to recommend!

Christina seemed very stern in the beginning. But after a few interaction, we like it that she gets to the point and get things done. It is not easy emotionally for us to be handlings probates/ administration matters, and tends to be a little extra sensitive. I supposed she needs to be firm at times to bring us to a logical mode to help us settle things fast. This is not an easy job. Appreciate the very clear and firm actions that helped us moved forward. Thank you.

Words cannot express my thanks to PKWA and to Ms. Charlene Nah and Mr. Jason Mak for their kind help. My divorce case went through mediation, district court hearing and then appeal hearing. It went on for more than two years and to make the matters even more complicated, I am doing this from overseas.Charlene and Jason are there with me every step of the way, providing their professional service and also some personal touch to make the case easier for me emotionally. They are very experienced with Singapore Family Law and always have my best interest at heart.At the latter part of the district hearing and appeal hearing, I was struggling with legal fees, because the case went on much longer than I expected, due to my ex-husband's stubbornness. Charlene went out of her way to help me cope with the difficulties, even encouraged and helped me to represent myself at appeal court. The outcome is very favorable and there's no way I would be able to accomplish that without Charlene and Jason's kind help.Divorce is unfortunate and difficult in its nature, and you'd need your lawyers to have your best interest at heart at all times to overcome the difficulties. PWKA is such a law firm you can fully trust. I can't thank them enough.

Recently we have to claim our late sister’s funds from a bank in Singapore. As we (her siblings) are all residing overseas and moreover our late sister did not leave a will made it very difficult. I searched online for a Singapore law firm and approached PKWA lawyers with just a simple email l and was most pleased with the immediate attention and care Christina Lim and Charlene Nah showed. Within a few days we were on the way to apply for a Reseal of Grant of Letter of Administration. The cost was very reasonable and importantly there were no hiccups at all on our application even in the midst of covid. We had zoom meetings with Charlene and she demonstrated to us her clear knowledge on the legal matters involved. Within a few short months we were able to achieve our aim. We would strongly recommend anyone seeking legal help to contact PKWA and special thanks to Christina and Charlene.

While looking for a law firm to apply for the Grant of Probate, an ex-classmate referred PKWA to me. In less than 30 minutes after I submitted my enquiry, I received a call from Ms Christina Lim, with her purpose to understand more on my requests. From then on, Christina has never failed to provide timely update on the progress, be it through meetings at PKWA Office, via phone calls or emails. Christina is firm, professional, efficient and attentive. She is very clear in her instructions and prepares me what to expect. Though it took longer than the expected time frame to obtain the Grant of Probate due to additional documents required by the court, Christina explained patiently to keep me in the loop of the developments. Subsequently when the Grant of Probate was obtained, Christina took the trouble to brief me how to go about with this document to settle with the banks.I would like to commend on the excellent work done by Ms Christina Lim and her team for obtaining the Grant of Probate for my late father. It has facilitated my family to settle the assets smoothly. Strongly recommend PKWA to anyone who require legal advice/service.Thank you.

I must thank Christina Lim sincerely for her valuable advice and guiding me through the process of getting my Grant for Letter of Administration without any hitch. She is patient, responsive, professional, meticulous and systematic. She helped to speed up the process and getting what I want in the shortest possible timeframe. This help in minimising the cost of my legal fees. Which I believe could add up quite lot if I have to follow through with all the original list of assets I proposed earlier. All because some of these items do not require probate.I would strongly recommend anyone with a problem to go to PKWA Law Practice LLC as they provide affordable and effective legal services.Michael Yen

Our dad passed away few months back and left us with a will and we needed help from lawyer firm to get a Grant of Probate. Initially we went down to another lawyer to seek consultation but it ended up getting us feeling more confused than before.Luckily, we found PKWA from the Internet and proceeded to contact them via WhatApps to book for first free consultation appointment. The lady also told us how to get to their office, what documents to bring and the deposit amount if we want them to proceed immediately with the case.During the first appointment at their office, they are very professional and advised us on all the steps that we will need to go through as well as the estimated timeline. We only went down to their office a total of 3 times within a span of around 1.5 months and we got our Grant of Probate. Also, during the last session with them, they re-iterated the steps that we will need to execute after getting grant of probate again just in case we forgot about it.All in all, PKWA is very professional, fast and gave good concise advice to us thus the lawyer fees are also very reasonable. Definitely recommended!

I needed to obtain a Grant of Probate to execute my late mother’s will and was at a loss of what to do. Christina Lim guided me and explained to me clearly what to do and the expected time frame of the whole procedure. She even guided me of the process after I have obtained the Grant of Probate. The most important point is that I never have to wait for her at the appointed time for the several meetings I have with her. The appointed time slot is always on the dot.

Prior to engaging the PKWA law firm, the law firm provided free consultation. During the free consultation, they explained to me what is Grant of Probate and the processes very clearly and professionally without any rush. Answered all my queries and provided good advice too. I than decided to engage PKWA law firm to apply for Grant of Probate. The fees quoted was clearly explained and the fees was reasonable without any hidden costs. The law firm kept updating me with the progress with the Courts. The progress was very smooth and PKWA Family Law got my Grant of Probate from the Courts within a short time.

PKWA was introduced to me from a relative as I needed to obtain the Grant of Probate to execute my late father's will. I had no clue of how to proceed and thankfully with clear advice and directions from PKWA Law and manager Christina Lim, the whole process went well and duration was shorter than expected. On the day of collection of the Grant of Probate, PKWA Law went through again with me on how and what should be done on the second half of the procedures. Thank you once again and will highly recommend the service of PKWA Law.

Myrna T

Both Executors are unanimous in our assessment that Firdaus made the whole process, simple and painless, with knowledgeable information and minimum demands on our time. No more coming down for repeated signing of affidavits, no more piecemeal requests for documentation, and most important the updates were frequent, and to the point. The probate process was completed in less than a month - quite miraculous by any standards. The whole experience has been a breadth of fresh air. We will have no hesitation in recommending PKWA and Firdaus in particular, to anyone seeking help with probate matters. And If the rest of your practice is as pleasant and efficient as this experience, we would gladly consider returning for our other legal needs. Congratulations on running a tight ship. And in particular our gratitude and appreciation to Firdaus.

Jon Jambu

Thank you Mr Firdaus.
