2.0 Will
Definition - A Will is a document where a person states his intentions as to how his estate is to be administered and distributed after his death and who is to administer it. According to the Will Act 1959 - A Will is a document where a person states his intentions as to how his estate is to be administered and distributed after his death and who is to administer it.
Estate Planning
Immovable Property assets that cannot be moved physically, i.e. land and buildings Intestacy a person who dies without making a valid Will is said to die intestate Letters of Administration with Will Annexed where there is a Will, but where the executors appointed has either passed away, is unwilling or unable to act, or no executor was named at all, then letters of administration with Will annexed must be obtained. The procedure is very similar to obtaining letters of administration. Testator - the person making the Will. Trustee - a person or entity who holds property on behalf of others, usually for the beneficiaries Will - a document that simply states your last instructions. Sometimes also called Will and Testament

and make allocations for any special needs of their loved ones such as providing for heirs who are financially insecure or heirs with physical disability. A Will also enables a person to bestow gifts to non-family members/non heirs as well as various charities and religious organizations that the Testator may choose. In summary, having a Will enables a person to plan smooth transfer of assets to his/her beneficiaries according to his/her wishes.

However the witnesses who are attesting the testators signature must not be beneficiaries to the Will, otherwise the gift will fail d) The testator must be of sound of mind and not under any undue influence during the execution of his or her Will. e) The testator making a Will must not be under the age of majority.

A Will is revoked when a Non-Muslim person converts to Islam because the distribution of his/her estate will automatically follow the Faraid distribution.

costly and impractical for your executor to do so. This could cause delays to your beneficiary who needs to use the money. Your beneficiary can be your executor as well. However, in some families, some members dont get along well with one another. If you feel there might be potential for conflict, then it will be wise to choose someone who is neutral to be executor so that there will be less friction when it comes to distributing your assets. An executor must be trustworthy as they will handle your financial affairs. Some have been known to abscond with the testators money. If you dont have confidence in anyone, then you can select a trust corporation to be your executor. The trust corporation will charge a small percentage of the total value of your estate as an administration fee. It is better to pay a small fee than to have someone run off with a significant portion of your money.
2. How to choose your Guardian If you have children below age 18, you must nominate a least one, preferable two persons as guardians for your minor children. The reason to appoint guardians is in the event both you and your spouse die together; there is someone who will bring up your children. Guardians are usually close relatives or friends who love your children. They should have the time and energy to look after your children. Preferable, do not select a grandparent as guardian since it is likely they may pass on first. Whoever you select, get their agreement first before you name them in your Will since it is a heavy responsibility.

There is no right or wrong way to divide your assets. It is up to you. However, by law, your spouse should receive a portion of your asset. To a certain extent, you also have to give some assets to your sons and unmarried daughter. However, should you choose not to give any assets to your spouse and children, and then you need to state a good reason in your Will. For instance, if your spouse is well off or you have provided for them through other means i.e. property are already in their name, then you can opt not to give them anything. You will still need to state the reason why you choose not to leave them anything. Without a good strong reason, this set of beneficiaries can easily contest your Will. You can itemize and give each asset to an individual or to be shared between several people. This is one way to divide your assets. For example, you give your house to your spouse, a car to your son and a piece of land to be shared between your son and your spouse.
4. When should your beneficiary receive your assets? Although you have decided to give your assets to your beneficiary, you can determine when they are to receive the assets. For instance, you want your children to receive a significant portion of your assets, however you are concern that they are too young at age 21 to receive all that that money. You feel they are not ready to handle such a large amount of money at that age and may squander it away.
10 | E s t a t e P l a n n i n g
Estate Planning
In such situations, you can state in your Will, when they are to receive their inheritance. You can choose to delay it to a later age, for example at age 25 or any age you specify. You can also state for them to receive a part of their share at a younger age and the balance once they reach a later age. 5. Practical considerations ` Dividing up a property to too many people may cause problems.
Although you may want to be fair, having too many person means it will be almost impossible for them to sell or rent out the property. Even though the other beneficiaries agree to sell the property, a single person who opposes the sale can choose not to sign the papers. This means the others have no choice but to keep the property.

The Different between Amanah Raya Berhad and private trustee company. There is a lot of difference between Amanah Raya Berhad (ARB) and Private Trustee Company. The main difference is the writing style which for ARB the writing style must followed the standard of Amanah Raya itself different with private trustee company where the writing style is accordance with the testator. Next is place of listening to the will which for ARB the venue is at amanah raya office which means the heirs need to walk in into amanah raya office in hearing to the will. Compared to private trustee company where the place of listening to the will is at their own homes and this will make them feel comfortable to hearing to the will. Furthermore, there is a high charge of estate management fees for ARB which is 4% for the first RM25, 000 and 3% for the next RM250, 000. For private trustee company, the charges is low which only 2% for first RM1 million and 0.5% for the next amount. In addition, the services provided also plays a huge different between this two trustee body which for ARB the services is slow and usually take a long time for the settlement different with private trustee company where their services more professional and fast for the settlement. As a conclusion, private trustee company provides better services compared to the ARB with low charges of estate management fees.

Appellant then took action in the High Court by way of originating summons for a declaration that the EPF nomination for the benefit of the deceased daughter shall be null and void and that the will should be given advance. It is argued that the disposition of the deceased under regulation 9 EPF Regulations, which is a form of disposal will deceased's estate, did not comply with Wills Act 1959 ('Wills Act') in this case.
In response, the respondent argues that counsel Wills Act does not apply in this case and therefore cannot invalidate the EPF nomination was made in the prescribed form under regulation 9 EPF Regulations. Judge dismissed the application the appellant. The appellant has appealed. Important issue in this appeal is whether a nomination under the EPF Rules is a will document which must comply with the provisions of the Wills Act 1959.
15 | E s t a t e P l a n n i n g
Estate Planning
(1) Nomination has several features of will. However, there are great differences between the paper and disposal in the form of will. Form of will must comply with the Wills Act, but the disposal may have some character of will without paper contains a form of will (see p. 478D and 481A-B). (2) A designation is a statutory designation made under the operation of the Employees Provident Fund Act 1951 ("EPF Act") and the Regulations. Section 20 of the EPF Act empowers the Minister of Finance to make regulations to provide for nomination by a member of the EPF of those to whom any amount standing to his credit in the EPF at the time of his death shall be paid after his death. Based on this section, the EPF Regulations in force and power to make a nomination by the members in the EPF contributions are provided under regulation 9. Nomination to be valid must be in writing in the prescribed form (Form EPF-4) to be signed by the nominee in whom the signature should be attested by witnesses. It is not disputed that the nomination in this case has complied with the provisions set out before, and therefore it is valid (see p. 481B-D)
(3) The reason that the disposition of the deceased under the EPF Rules is invalid because it is inconsistent with the Wills Act does not have any merit, as the opinion of the court on the main issues that the nomination of the deceased non-will document and that it has complied with the provisions of regulation 9 EPF Regulations

Shariah The Islamic will is called al-wasiyya. A will is a transaction which comes into operation after the testators death. The will is executed after payment of funeral expenses and any outstanding debts. The one who makes a will (wasiyya) is called a testator (al-musi). The one on whose behalf a will is made is generally referred to as a legatee (al-musa lahu).
17 | E s t a t e P l a n n i n g
Estate Planning
Technically speaking the term "testatee" is perhaps a more accurate translation of al-musa lahu.
Estate Planning
There should be two witnesses to the declaration of the wasiyya. A written wasiyya where there are no witnesses to an oral declaration is valid if it written in the known handwriting/signature of the testator according to Maliki and Hanbali fiqh. The wasiyya is executed after payment of debts and funeral expenses. The majority view is that debts to Allah (SWT) such as zakh, obligatory expiation etc. should be paid whether mentioned in the will or not. However, there is difference of opinion on this matter amongst the Muslim jurists.

Estate Planning 1.
Firstly, he cannot bequest more than 1/3 of his net estate unless the
other heirs consent to the bequest or there are no legal heirs at all or the only legal heir is the spouse who gets his/her legal share and the residue can be bequeathed. Narrated Sad ibn Abi Waqqas (RA): "I was stricken by an ailment that led me to the verge of death. The Prophet came to pay me a visit. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have much property and no heir except my single daughter. Shall I give two-thirds of my property in charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said, "No." I said, "One-third of it?" He said, "You may do so, though one-third is also too much, for it is better for you to leave your offspring wealthy than to leave them poor, asking others for help..." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahah Muslim, Muwatta, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah.) 2. Secondly, the testator cannot make a bequest in favour of a legal
heir under traditional Sunni Muslim law. However, some Islamic countries do allow a bequest in favour of a legal heir providing the bequest does not exceed the bequeathable one-third. Legal heir in this context is one who is a legal heir at the time of death of the testator. Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): Allahs Prophet (SAWS) said, "Allah has appointed for everyone who has a right what is due to him, and no bequest must be made to an heir. (Abu Dawud). Similar hadith narrated by Abu Umamah (RA) and reported by Ibn Majah, Ahmad and others.

traditional Sunni Muslim law unless consented to by other legal heirs. An acknowledgement of debt in favor of a legal heir is valid. Acceptance or rejection of a bequest by the legatee is only relevant after the death of the testator and not before. Generally speaking once a legatee has accepted or rejected a bequest he cannot change his mind subsequently. if the legatee dies without accepting or rejecting the bequest, the bequest becomes part of the legatees estate according to the Hanafi fiqh because non-rejection is regarded as acceptance. According to the other three main Sunni madhahib, the right to accept or reject the bequest passes onto the heirs of the legatee. There is difference of opinion as to the time at which ownership of a bequest is transferred from the testator (or his heirs) to the legatee. According to the Hanafi and Shafii fiqh the transfer of ownership is at the time of death of the testator, according to the Maliki and Hanbali fiqh the transfer of ownership is at the time of accepting the bequest. All the Sunni madhahib agree that if the legatee dies before the testator, the bequest is invalid since a bequest can only be accepted after the death of the testator. If there is uncertainty as to whether or not the legatee survived the testator, such as a missing legatee, the bequest is invalid because the legatee must be alive at the time of death of the testator for the will to be valid. If the testator and legatee die together, such as in an air crash and it is not certain who died first, the bequest is invalid according to the Hanafi, Maliki and Shafii fiqh. But according to the Hanbali fiqh, the bequest devolves upon the legatees heirs who may accept or reject it.

The executor (al-wasi) of the will is the manager of the estate appointed by the testator. The executor has to carry out the wishes of the testator according to Islamic law, to watch the interests of the children and of the estate. The authority of the executor should be specified. Hanafi and Maliki fiqh state that the executor should be trustworthy and truthful; the Shafii fiqh state that the executor must be just. The Hanafi fiqh considers the appointment of a non-Muslim executor to be valid. The testator may appoint more than one executor, male or female. The testator should state if each executor can act independently of the other executor.

include the female gender. The rules described here reflect the rules practised under the Shafie school of thought; some differences or variations may be adopted under the Hanafi, Maliki and Hambali schools.
The Quran: "Allah enjoins you concerning your children: the male shall have the equal of the portion of two females; if there are more than two females, they shall have two-thirds of what he has left, and if there is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents, each of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if he has a child: but if he has no child and only his two parents inherit from him, then his mother shall have the third; but if he has brothers, his mother shall have the sixth after the payment of any bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt. You know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise." (4:11)

Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Give the appointed portions to those entitled to them. Then whatever remains is for the nearest male." (Narrated by Bukhari).

not given any right at all in inheritance distribution. Similarly, children who have not reached puberty were not given inheritance rights. Inheritance was only applicable to men who could defend their families and tribes from the enemys attack. Inheritance was only based on heredity (for adult men), agreement and foster children. After the descent of the almawarith verses, Islamic Inheritance Law introduced a reformation in inheritance law, where women are recognised by Islam by giving them the legal status of beneficiaries and their specific shares in the inheritance are determined. Of the 12 beneficiaries of ashab al-furud , 8 are female beneficiary and only 4 are male beneficiaries. Among the reformations introduced in the Islamic Inheritance Law include: 1) Inheritance rights of beneficiaries are based on the relationship of consanguinity (kinship), marriage contract, wala' and Islam. 2) Not to deny the rights to inheritance among male and female, big or small, all of whom are entitled to the inheritance left by the benefactor (the deceased). 3) Parents and children are not left out from receiving inheritance in any condition. Their portion of the inheritance might change if there are other beneficiaries. 4) Male and female siblings will not receive the inheritance if the parents of the deceased are still alive. The presence of siblings/relatives will reduce the mothers share from 1/3 to 1/6. 5) Where there are male and female beneficiaries in a single case, the male beneficiary will take two parts of the female beneficiars shares, or two parts for the male beneficiary and one part for the female beneficiary.

See Fitzgerald Muhammadan Law, p.124. (18) In all these cases, as there are two daughters the sons daughter cannot inherit as Quranic heir. She therefore takes as an agnatic heir and shares the residu with the lower sons son. (19) The sons daughter is a residuary with an equal sons son. (20) As there is a nearer daughter, the share of the sons sons daughter is 1/6 that is the remainder of the 2/3 share of daughters.
