Enduring power of attorney
This article appeared in The Times newspaper of the United Kingdom a few years ago. It’s interesting as the case revolved around an old infirmed lady and her domestic help: Life expectancy is rising and property prices are rocketing. As … Continue reading
Arranging a funeral
A rather morbid story today but a necessary one. It’s about arranging a funeral. I’m no expert in this field but if you need a professional funeral director here in Malaysia, there are several too. Losing a loved one is … Continue reading
Dormant accounts
More interesting information on dormant accounts from the UK perspective. The story is quite out-of-date (Gordon Brown has left the UK political scene) and circumstances may be slightly different now. However, do read it to get an overview about what … Continue reading

Dividing an inheritance
I was reading this Q&A item in The Times newspaper recently. Do bear in mind that as this advice was given by a barrister in England and the circumstances refer to UK law, it may not be totally applicable here … Continue reading
Inheritance battle looms in Malaysia
Estate planning for non-Muslims and Muslims can be worlds apart. For Muslims, the Syariah inheritance laws take precedence over any civil considerations. When a Muslim dies, his estate will be subjected to divine laws already laid down in the Quran … Continue reading
The heartache of intestacy (people dying without Wills)
Not leaving a Will means leaving a heartache for a bereaving family, especially one that is unaware of the legal quicksand. Can you imagine a scenario such as this: a man died without having written a Will. All he owned … Continue reading
