Probate & Letters of Administration

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.

“The firm packages most of its legal services with an all-inclusive fixed fee that is affordable for all.”

What does a probate lawyer do?

When a loved one passes away, someone has to take charge of their estate (money, property and other assets). The assets have to be “unlocked” and distributed to the lawful beneficiaries.

For over 30 years, PKWA probate lawyers have helped countless families to obtain a Grant of Probate (where there is a will) or a Grant of Letters of Administration (where there is no will). These Grants are required so that the executor and administrator can manage the deceased’s estate and distribute the inheritance to the lawful beneficiaries.

A leading probate law firm with affordable fixed fees

Our probate fees start from $990 and are fixed, clear and transparent from the outset. We offer a free initial consultation to understand your situation.

PKWA family and probate lawyers are consistently named as leading Singapore lawyers by the Straits Times, Benchmark Litigation, Asian Legal Business, Singapore Business Review and Doyle’s Guide. Our firm has more than 130 employees and 30 years of history. Our clients include all the major banks such as DBS, UOB, OCBC and Maybank. We are a safe and trusted choice.

When a loved one has passed away, families consult PKWA’s team of experienced probate lawyers to obtain a Grant of Probate or Letter of Administration and for advice on estate administration and the rules of inheritance.

We typically obtain a Grant of Probate or a Grant of Letters of Administration within one month. We are here to help and to obtain your probate quickly during this difficult time.

Mr Low Jin Liang, Ms Sheila Cheng and Ms Helen Hui of PKWA had handled my divorce with empathy and professionalism. They were meticulous and patient to explain the entire process at each stage in plain language. Often pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of my options, highlighting my legal rights and blind spots.Despite being a contested divorce, we worked on a very reasonable packaged fee structure.With clarity of information and legal fees, I was able to sleep at night during the entire process. I am very happy with the eventual settlement.I found peace and could move on to focus on my new life with my young children.Thank you team. I am eternally grateful.

Satisfactory. Wish they could be a little more patient and better explain their services inclusions and additional charges. Banks and law firms have different understanding and make it difficult for family members to settle the debts and assets of my Dad, as he did not leave a Will or a listing of his debts and assets. We thought the banks or law firms could help but these search are additional charges per financial insitutions by the law firms. Banks will not tell us anything until we have a legal letter.

We are very thankful to be well-served by Christina and their team of staff. We were not sure where to turn to, too many law firms offering and promising best service. It was a call made and attended by a helpful reception staff Miss Felicia. I remembered it was almost office closing time, however, she was still very patiently and helpful handling our enquiries, not rushing through. That left us with a deep impression. We made the decision right after that plus the good reviews received on google. Everyone at your law firm that we met was kind and patient.Christina has always made sure to follow-up closely and update us as & when.We would highly recommend this law firm not only for their good staff and quality service but also their reasonable legal fee. They are transparent with whatever they have quoted right at the beginning, truly no hidden cost.

I had researched online for application of LOA service and PKWA came to my attention as they have alot of good reviews and reasonable price (in actual fact, the cheapest). Thus, I had called PKWA and managed to book an appointment with one of their lawyers that can communicate in mandarin (as my mother was the one that requires the service). Jane Ng was the legal manger that was assigned to us, she is very friendly, detailed in explanation and patience (as my mother takes awhile to digest certain information). The whole process was fuss free and smooth. Glad that we had engaged PKWA/Jane's service. Thank you~~~

Its really very hard to find such an excellent attitude of service from law related personnel! I am more than pleased, to say the least with Nick Lee's service! He not only responded to my messages on a week night after office and also was very patent and super clear with his instructions even though as a salesperson, I am technically not his client! I believe Nick must have played a very big part on why PKWA is now a monster lawyer on hdb transactions. Excellent value+ great fees= Outstanding !! Five stars!!

Eddie Tan

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.

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.
