Our Services
Three engagements, one steady practice
Each service at Pesaka Law is drawn from the same core discipline — helping Malaysian families arrange their affairs with care and legal precision.

How we approach each matter
All three of our service areas follow the same underlying principle: we begin by listening carefully before we write a single line of a document. The consultation stage is not a formality — it is the foundation on which every subsequent decision rests. An executor who is properly chosen, a Trust structure that genuinely fits the family's assets, a probate application that has been fully prepared before lodgement — these outcomes all come from having taken enough time at the beginning.
We do not adopt a transactional approach. Each engagement is a considered piece of work, completed with full awareness that the documents we produce may carry legal weight for decades.
Service 01
Simple Will Drafting & Registration
A considered consultation and drafting service for individuals and couples seeking a straightforward Will under the Wills Act 1959. We discuss your beneficiaries, the role and backup of executors, guardianship nominations for minor children, and specific legacies — both sentimental and monetary items.
The engagement includes a thorough draft, a review meeting where every clause is explained, execution with witnesses in accordance with statutory formalities, and registration with Amanah Raya or a private Will registry at your election. We also provide a written summary of where the original Will is stored and what steps an executor will need to take.
Key benefits
- Statutory compliance with the Wills Act 1959 and correct witnessing formalities
- Executor and backup executor clearly named with contact details
- Guardian nominations for minor children included at no extra charge
- Original filed with Amanah Raya or private registry; client receives a certified copy
- Plain-language executor summary document provided alongside the Will copy

Service 02
Living Trust & Lifetime Gifting Structure
Careful design of inter vivos trusts for asset protection during lifetime, incapacity planning, or intergenerational wealth transfer — including Discretionary Trusts, Fixed Trusts, and Standby Trusts.
The engagement opens with a planning conversation about family circumstances, the assets intended to be settled (real property, shares, funds), tax considerations under the Real Property Gains Tax Act 1976 and the Stamp Act 1949, and the choice of trustee — professional corporate trustee or private individual. We draft the Trust deed, advise on settlement mechanics, and coordinate with your accountants on any reporting and valuation steps. Post-establishment, we include a half-yearly check-in to review whether the structure still fits family circumstances.
Key benefits
- Assets pass to beneficiaries without the delay and cost of probate
- Provides for asset management during incapacity, without a court order
- Trust deeds do not become public documents, maintaining family privacy
- RPGT and Stamp Act implications reviewed before any settlement is made
- Half-yearly review included to keep the structure aligned with family changes

Service 03
Probate, Letters of Administration & Estate Administration
Complete support for executors and family members administering a deceased person's estate, whether testate (under a Will) or intestate (under the Distribution Act 1958).
The engagement covers application for Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration at the High Court or Land Office as applicable, collation and valuation of assets, notification of creditors, discharge of liabilities, interim and final distributions, and preparation of estate accounts. For smaller estates within the summary administration threshold, we advise on the simplified Amanah Raya route. Our communications throughout are patient and clear, recognising that administration often runs alongside grief.
Key benefits
- Full court filing preparation — executors do not need to manage documentation alone
