Administration of Intestate Estate
Navigating the complexities of estate administration with compassion, professionalism, and Syariah compliance.
Understanding Intestate Estates
When a person passes away without a Wasiat (Will), their estate is considered 'intestate.' In these circumstances, an administrator must be appointed to manage their affairs. This crucial role involves identifying all assets and liabilities, settling debts, and distributing the remaining wealth to the rightful beneficiaries according to Syariah principles.
The process is governed by several legal frameworks, primarily the Probate and Administration Act 1959. Managing an estate can be emotionally and legally challenging, and appointing the right representative is essential to ensure the process runs smoothly and avoids family conflict.
Why Appoint a Professional Administrator?
Under Section 35 of the Probate and Administration Act 1959, individual administrators often must provide security bonds with two sureties, which can be a complex and cumbersome requirement.
As an authorized agent of as-Salihin Trustee Berhad, a licensed trust corporation, we offer a significant advantage. A corporate trustee removes this burden and provides the continuity, accountability, and impartiality needed to ensure fairness, transparency, and efficiency throughout the entire process.
