- Based on current law in Singapore, a Will has to be ink-signed in hardcopy in presence of 2 Valid Witnesses to be properly effected.
- Upon the death of the Testator, will need to be produced in hardcopy for probate purposes.
- Your Will can be kept by yourself at home or with Custodian Services for a fee. The main reason for Custodian Services would be due to privacy concerns.
- In the event of a hardcopy Will going missing: if there is overwhelming evidence that a softcopy reflects the final wishes of the Testator, the Courts may still grant the probate based on a copy/draft of the Will under Section 9 of the Probate and Administration Act. Assuming that the Court accepts the application, the Executor can then make an application for the Grant Of Probate (i.e. a Court order allowing the administration of the assets by the executor)
- This is another reason to have us as your Case Manager in doing up your Wealth Transfer Planning. In engaging us, you have 1) Us and 2) the writer of your Will / appointed Professional Trustee who has copies and receipts of the softcopies of your Will which we can release to your loved ones.
