Petaling Jaya, Selangor
After my father passed, none of us knew where to begin with the estate. Siti Ramlah met with us within a week and explained everything in a way the whole family could follow. The probate took about seven months — we knew it would, she told us that at the start. What I valued most was that she never made us feel rushed or like we were one of many files on a desk.

Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur
I had a specific question about my mother's will — whether one clause was valid under current law. I was not looking to hire a lawyer for a full matter, just needed a proper answer. The consultation was exactly what I needed: a direct response with no ambiguity, and a written note I could keep. The fee was fair for what was provided.

Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur
My wife and I had been putting off writing our wills for years. We finally came to Warisan and found the process far less daunting than we had imagined. The lawyer listened carefully and asked the right questions — things we had not thought to consider. The draft was ready within two weeks and covered everything properly. We both left feeling the matter was properly handled.

Ampang, Selangor
The probate for my late husband's estate was more complex than expected — there was a property we did not know was still in his name. Zainal Hisham handled that complication without making us feel it was our problem to solve. He traced the registration, coordinated with the land office, and kept us informed throughout. It was a difficult year; the steadiness of this practice made a real difference.

Lim Kah Yoong
Cheras, Kuala Lumpur
I came in for a consultation after a family member questioned whether a will was properly signed. The lawyer looked at the facts carefully and gave me a clear answer — it was valid, and here is why. I did not need anything else done, but knowing I could have returned for further help if required was reassuring. Helpful and to the point.

Shah Alam, Selangor
My siblings and I needed help understanding how an estate would be distributed under Faraid — my late father had not left a will. The lawyer explained the applicable rules clearly, told us what we would need to gather, and walked us through the process step by step. The written note she sent afterwards was very useful when we had to explain things to an elderly aunt. Professional and considerate throughout.

Case Summaries
Details have been generalised to protect client privacy.
The Situation
A couple in their late fifties had assets across two properties and several financial accounts. One property was in both names; the other in the husband's name alone. They had three adult children and wanted to ensure a specific property passed to a particular child, with other assets divided evenly.
What Was Done
Two separate wills were drafted — one for each spouse — addressing each asset clearly. The lawyer raised the question of jointly held assets and explained how they would pass outside the will by operation of law. Both clients attended a walkthrough session and asked detailed questions before signing.
Outcome
Both wills executed, witnessed, and a clear record kept of storage location. The couple reported feeling that the matter was "settled" for the first time in years. Duration: approximately three weeks from first meeting to signing.
"We had been meaning to do this for a decade. I only wish we had done it sooner."
The Situation
A widow came to Warisan six weeks after her husband's passing. He had left a valid will naming her as executor. The estate included a condominium, two bank accounts, and a unit trust investment. The family had already received conflicting advice from different sources about the probate process and were uncertain what steps to take.
What Was Done
The lawyer clarified the correct process at the first meeting and confirmed what documents were needed. The petition, affidavits, and asset schedule were prepared over six weeks. The lawyer coordinated directly with the bank and the land registry to obtain necessary confirmations, reducing the burden on the family.
Outcome
Grant of probate obtained and estate distributed to beneficiaries within eight months of engagement. No disputes arose. The client received a plain-language summary of each stage as it concluded. Duration: approximately 8 months from engagement to completion.
"There was a point where I did not know who to trust. Coming to Warisan resolved that."
The Situation
Adult siblings were uncertain whether their late parent's estate would be distributed under civil law or Faraid, as the parent had converted religions late in life. This created a family disagreement and a practical question about which legal framework would govern distribution of the estate.
What Was Done
The lawyer reviewed the relevant facts and provided a clear explanation of which framework applied, citing the applicable provisions. The client received a written note summarising the position, which was shared with the family to resolve the internal disagreement. The lawyer also outlined what formal steps would be required if the family wished to proceed with administration.
Outcome
The family reached a shared understanding of the legal position, reducing the tension around the matter. Two of the siblings subsequently returned to engage Warisan for the probate application. Duration of consultation: a single session with written note issued within two days.
"A single hour of good advice saved us months of confusion."
