Assets passed on in succession
Owning property in Malaysia is one of the most important asset investments. However, without proper planning and preparation, these assets may become “frozen” after the owner’s death, leading to risks such as disputes among heirs or the property ending up in the hands of someone other than the person you cared about most.
To prevent such issues, it is extremely important to understand the following three basic concepts:
In other words—writing a will is not about “preparing for death”, but about “preparing for the people you love”.
As a property management company, we have witnessed many cases where clients did not leave a will, resulting in frozen assets, blocked rental payments, and families struggling to respond.
Making preparations in advance is truly the first step toward “passing on love.”
- The Difference Between Trusts and Wills
Which option suits you best?
⚫︎ If your assets are simple and you want an easy way to decide how they’re distributed 👉 Writing a will is recommended
⚫︎ If you want to manage assets during your lifetime / have minor children / prefer phased inheritance 👉 Using a trust is recommended
⚫︎ If you want to prepare for all risks and seek greater peace of mind 👉 Combining a will + trust is optimal
Wills and trusts are not “either-or”—setting up both allows for a stronger succession strategy. In fact, many individuals with significant assets use both wills and trusts to build a comprehensive plan. Depending on your needs and situation, we can also help introduce trusted local professionals. While trusts may involve slightly higher costs than wills, they offer more benefits in terms of execution speed, legal certainty, asset management flexibility, and dispute prevention. Especially for those with overseas assets, multiple heirs, or minor children, trusts offer a more flexible and secure option than wills alone.
