123 Pacific Trustee is able to do Will for Malaysia and Singapore


Pacific Trustee is able to do Will for Malaysia and Singapore

Pacific Trustee 可以办理马、新两地的遗嘱

During the training by Pacific Trustee in April 2017, Pacific mentioned that they have operation in Singapore. So, they are able to do will for clients with assets in Singapore. This is indeed a pleasant surprise. 在4月的训练会里,Pacific Trustee提及她们在新加坡也有办事处。所以她们也可以为在新有资产的顾客缮写遗嘱。哦,有点惊喜。
Many of JB people work in Singapore, or has become Singapore PR. It is natural for them to have savings or even properties in Singapore. Thus, making them to have assets in both countries. 有很多新山的居民是在新加坡工作抑或已经成为新加坡永久居民。他们在新加坡拥有储蓄或产业是自然不过的。如此他们就是两地都有财产了。
Our knowledge all along was a Malaysian Will can cover assets in Singapore since both are Commonwealth countries. A Malaysian Will can be re-seal in Singapore High Court to distribute the assets there. 我们过往的认知是马来西亚的遗嘱是可以涵括在新加坡的财产的。马方的遗嘱可以在新方的高庭重新re-seal以便办理该地的财产。
I still remember another training by Premier Assurance Group where the presenter advised us not to do so. His advice was tax and inheritance law in different countries could differ. Therefore it is better to engage competent person from the relevant country to do the Will. He said the last thing we want to do is to complicate the assets distribution of a deceased client's. 我还记得之前Premier Assurance Group来给训练的时候,他也认为那样会很不明智。他认为各地的税务和遗产法令皆有不同。因此最好由当地的合格单位来缮写遗嘱。他认为我们最不应该做的就是搞砸顾客的资产分配事宜。
Pacific Trustee is of the opinion that separate Will should do a better job. One of the concern is the re-sealing in Singapore High Court can only be done after assets in Malaysia is settled. A separate Will will greatly reduce the waiting time because the application of Grant of Probate can be done concurrently in both countries. Pacific Trustee也认为分开的遗嘱比较好。其一是在新的re-seal只能在马方的事务处理完了之后才能进行。若是分开的遗嘱将能大大减少时间,因为申请Grant of Probate可以两地同时进行。
The second point is, similar to Premier Assurance Group's point, that we need to take care of laws in relevant countries. 其二就是如Premier Assurance Group所述的,即我们必须考量不同国家的法令。
If Pacific Trustee can do Will for both countries, we should be able to help our clients to better plan the distribution. I think at least we can avoid conflicting instruction if Will were done separately.  若是Pacific Trustee能够缮写两地的遗嘱,那我们就可以更好的为顾客规划分配事宜。我想最少可以减低不同遗嘱里的相冲指示吧!
Pacific Trustee Malaysia will be in charge to do the Will for Malaysia while their counterpart in Singapore will do the Will there. 马来西亚的Pacific Trustee只能负责缮写本地的遗嘱,新加坡的遗嘱就交与她们在新加坡的律师负责。
