If you still have doubts, our will writing lawyers are happy to help \u2014 you can request a Singapore wills quote<\/a> or submit your will online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>Who can make a will in Singapore?<\/h3><\/div>In Singapore, any person aged 21 or above and of sound mind can make a valid will under the Wills Act 1838<\/a>. The person making the will (the testator) must understand the nature of the document, know the extent of their assets, and be free from undue influence. Muslims in Singapore are instead governed by the Administration of Muslim Law Act and the rules of faraid, so they should seek specialised advice.<\/p>\n<\/div>What makes a will legally valid in Singapore?<\/h3><\/div>A valid Singapore will must be in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed by two people who are present at the same time when the testator signs. Importantly, a witness (or the witness’s spouse) must not be a beneficiary, otherwise that gift fails. Because these formalities are strict, we require the final signing to take place in our office so our lawyers can witness it correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>
How much does it cost to make a will in Singapore?<\/h3><\/div>Our will drafting fees are fixed and transparent, and they depend on how complex your estate and instructions are. You can get an instant estimate through our Singapore wills quote calculator<\/a>. There are no hidden charges, and we confirm the fee with you before any work begins.<\/p>\n<\/div>Can I write my own will without a lawyer?<\/h3><\/div>You can, but a homemade or online-template will often fails on technicalities \u2014 for example, improper witnessing, unclear wording, or provisions that conflict with Singapore law. These errors can render the will partly or wholly invalid and lead to disputes among your family. A lawyer-drafted will helps ensure your wishes are clear, enforceable, and less likely to be challenged during probate.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What happens if I die without a will in Singapore?<\/h3><\/div>If you pass away without a valid will (intestate), your assets are distributed according to the fixed formula in the Intestate Succession Act, not according to your personal wishes. This can mean your estate is divided in ways you would not have chosen, and the process of applying for a grant of letters of administration<\/a> is often slower and more costly for your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>Should I update my will, and how often?<\/h3><\/div>Yes. You should review your will after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, buying property, or a significant change in your assets. Note that under Singapore law, marriage generally revokes an existing will unless it was made in contemplation of that marriage. We can help you update your will or prepare related documents such as a Lasting Power of Attorney<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>How do I start making my will with Loh Eben Ong LLP?<\/h3><\/div>Getting started is simple. First, request a estimated fee wills quote<\/a>. Next, provide your details through our Wills Online<\/a> service so our lawyers can prepare the draft. Finally, book an appointment to sign the will at our office, where we witness it to make it legally binding.

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>What to Include in Your Will<\/h2><\/div>
A clear, well-drafted will covers more than just who receives your money. When we prepare your Singapore will, we help you address:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Executor<\/strong> \u2014 the trusted person who administers your estate and applies for the grant of probate.<\/li>\n
- Guardians for minor children<\/strong> \u2014 who will care for your children under 21 if both parents pass away.<\/li>\n
- Specific gifts<\/strong> \u2014 particular assets or sums you wish to leave to named beneficiaries.<\/li>\n
- Residuary estate<\/strong> \u2014 how everything else is divided once specific gifts and debts are settled.<\/li>\n
- Funeral and other wishes<\/strong> \u2014 optional directions that give your family clarity and peace of mind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can request a wills quote<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>How It Works<\/h2><\/div>
- \n
- Submit Quotation Form<\/strong>: Start by submitting our online quotation form<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Submit Wills Online Form<\/strong>: Provide the necessary details through our wills online form<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Book an Appointment<\/strong>: Use our online booking system<\/a> to schedule a signing appointment.<\/li>\n
- Signing at Our Office<\/strong>: Attend at our office to sign the will in the presence of two witnesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>What a Will Does Not Cover in Singapore<\/h2><\/div>
Some assets pass outside your will, so it is important to plan for them separately:<\/p>\n
- \n
- CPF savings<\/strong> are distributed by your CPF nomination<\/em>, not by your will. If you have no nomination, CPF monies are distributed under intestacy rules.<\/li>\n
- Jointly-held property<\/strong> held as joint tenants usually passes automatically to the surviving owner.<\/li>\n
- Insurance policies<\/strong> with a named nominee are paid directly to that nominee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We help you coordinate your will with these arrangements so nothing is overlooked. You may also wish to consider a Lasting Power of Attorney<\/a> for decisions during your lifetime.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>After You Make Your Will \u2014 What Happens Next<\/h2><\/div>
Making your will is the first step. We also make sure you understand what happens afterwards. Keep the signed original in a safe place and tell your executor where to find it. When the time comes, your executor applies to the Family Justice Courts for a grant of probate<\/a> before your estate can be distributed. Our team can assist your family with the probate process, so the people you trust are supported from start to finish. If your circumstances change, we can update your will or prepare a Lasting Power of Attorney<\/a> to cover decisions made during your lifetime.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Make a Will in Singapore \u2014 Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><\/div>
Below we answer the questions Singaporeans ask most often before they make a will. If you still have doubts, our will writing lawyers are happy to help \u2014 you can request a Singapore wills quote<\/a> or submit your will online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Who can make a will in Singapore?<\/h3><\/div>
In Singapore, any person aged 21 or above and of sound mind can make a valid will under the Wills Act 1838<\/a>. The person making the will (the testator) must understand the nature of the document, know the extent of their assets, and be free from undue influence. Muslims in Singapore are instead governed by the Administration of Muslim Law Act and the rules of faraid, so they should seek specialised advice.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What makes a will legally valid in Singapore?<\/h3><\/div>
A valid Singapore will must be in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed by two people who are present at the same time when the testator signs. Importantly, a witness (or the witness’s spouse) must not be a beneficiary, otherwise that gift fails. Because these formalities are strict, we require the final signing to take place in our office so our lawyers can witness it correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>
How much does it cost to make a will in Singapore?<\/h3><\/div>
Our will drafting fees are fixed and transparent, and they depend on how complex your estate and instructions are. You can get an instant estimate through our Singapore wills quote calculator<\/a>. There are no hidden charges, and we confirm the fee with you before any work begins.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Can I write my own will without a lawyer?<\/h3><\/div>
You can, but a homemade or online-template will often fails on technicalities \u2014 for example, improper witnessing, unclear wording, or provisions that conflict with Singapore law. These errors can render the will partly or wholly invalid and lead to disputes among your family. A lawyer-drafted will helps ensure your wishes are clear, enforceable, and less likely to be challenged during probate.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What happens if I die without a will in Singapore?<\/h3><\/div>
If you pass away without a valid will (intestate), your assets are distributed according to the fixed formula in the Intestate Succession Act, not according to your personal wishes. This can mean your estate is divided in ways you would not have chosen, and the process of applying for a grant of letters of administration<\/a> is often slower and more costly for your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Should I update my will, and how often?<\/h3><\/div>
Yes. You should review your will after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, buying property, or a significant change in your assets. Note that under Singapore law, marriage generally revokes an existing will unless it was made in contemplation of that marriage. We can help you update your will or prepare related documents such as a Lasting Power of Attorney<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
