A Will/Wasiat is a legal document which outlines how a person intends to have his/her estate fairly distributed according to his/her wishes and/or other matters to take effect after the person’s demise as well as who will be responsible to administer it.
What is the purpose of Will/Wasiat?
- To avoid any DISPUTE and COMPLICATION in distributing the intended estate.
- For a speedy transfer of assets to loved ones and to protect the beneficiaries who are minors/disabled.
- If a person dies without leaving a valid Will/Wasiat, his/her estate may not be distributed to his/her intended beneficiaries.
- For Muslims, a Wasiat allows a person to allocate 1/3 of his/her assets to any person of his/her choice and the remaining 2/3 to his/her rightful heir(s) under Faraid Laws.

How Basic Will/Wasiat Works
What is a Basic Will/Wasiat?
- A Basic Will/Wasiat usually includes all the persons inheriting the estate, i.e., beneficiaries, who will be legally entitled to the assets of the person making the Will/Wasiat, i.e., testator, after the testator has passed away.
A Basic Will/Wasiat is made up of a basic set of components:
- Identifies the testator.
- Indicates that the testator is of sound mind and understands that the document is a Will/Wasiat.
- States who the beneficiaries of the Will/Wasiat are and what they will be receiving.
- Names an executor, or person who will be responsible for distributing the assets to the beneficiaries.
- Contains the signature of the testator.
- Contains witness’s signature who will witness and attest on the testator’s signature.
How Comprehensive Will/Wasiat Works
What is a Comprehensive Will/Wasiat?
- A Comprehensive Will/Wasiat is usually more detailed than a Basic Will/Wasiat.
What makes it different from a Basic Will/Wasiat?
- Writing a Comprehensive Will/Wasiat requires the testator to list down all his/her assets and specific details of each asset, for example, the details found on a title deed or the Sale and Purchase agreement of a house
- The testator can also put in a residuary clause in his/her Will/Wasiat to include assets that are to be acquired in the future or any future inheritances, including liquid assets
