20 Common Questions from Malaysians

Probate is a court document. It grants the executor named in a will the authority to manage and distribute the person’s assets. If there is a will, banks, land offices, and other authorities usually need probate before they release the assets.

Letter of Administration (LA) is a court order. It appoints a person (or more than one) to manage an estate when there is no will. The administrator can collect the assets, pay the debts, and share what is left by law.

Use Probate when a valid will names an executor.
Use a Letter of Administration (LA) when there is no will or the executor can’t serve.
Both give someone the legal right to manage the estate.
LA usually takes longer and may need extra papers and sureties (people who promise you’ll do the job).

If the will names you as executor, apply for probate after the person dies. Apply ASAP—within a few months—so you don’t face problems with banks account or property.

If there is no will, a next of kin (spouse, child, or parent) must apply for a Letter of Administration (LA). You need the LA before you can share the estate or transfer any assets.

Only the executor(s) named in the will can apply for Probate. If the executor has died or refuses to act, the court may appoint another suitable person as administrator with will annexed.

Usually, the closest next of kin such as a spouse, adult children, or parents may apply.
If there are multiple eligible persons, the court may appoint one or more administrators jointly to ensure fairness.

Applications are filed at the High Court. If the estate is small (under RM2 million and with real property), the District Land Administrator can handle it under the Small Estates (Distribution) Act 1955.

You’ll need the original death certificate, identity cards of beneficiaries, list of assets and liabilities, and the original will (for Probate). A lawyer can help prepare the originating summons, affidavit, and supporting documents in the correct legal format.

On average, Probate takes 2 to 4 months if there is no dispute. Letter of Administration usually takes longer which is 4 to 6 months or more due to additional verification, sureties, and family consent.

Once the order is granted, the executor or administrator can manage the assets, pay any debts or taxes, and then distribute the remaining estate to beneficiaries. It’s important to keep full records of all transactions in case the court or beneficiaries request an account.

No. Banks, land offices, and other authorities will not recognise your authority until Probate or LA is obtained.
Acting prematurely could cause legal complications thus it’s best to wait until you receive the formal court order.

Costs vary depending on the complexity and value of the estate. Our firm (FLTC, Puchong) offers transparent pricing and packages to suit different estate sizes. You can contact us for a quote after we review the case documents.

While technically possible to apply on your own, the process involves formal documents, affidavits, and legal wording. Engaging a lawyer can ensure compliance with court procedures and helps avoid delays or rejections.

The court can still proceed if proper notices are served and evidence of refusal is shown. A lawyer can help you manage disputes tactfully and ensure the estate distribution continues lawfully.

The court will determine which will is valid. This may involve witness statements or handwriting verification. Until the dispute is settled, the court will not issue probate, thus legal representation is important in such cases.

Yes, foreign executors or next of kin can apply if the deceased owned assets in Malaysia. However, they must usually appoint a Malaysian representative or lawyer to handle the process locally.

You may need to apply for resealing of probate in the foreign country or vice versa. Each jurisdiction has its own laws, so it’s best to consult a lawyer experienced in cross-border estate matters.

They must administer all assets, pay debts and taxes, and distribute the remaining estate according to the will or law.
They also have a fiduciary duty to act honestly, keep proper accounts, and act in the best interests of all beneficiaries.

A lawyer ensures your application is correctly prepared, complete, and filed with the right court, thus reducing delays or rejection risks. At Foo Leong Tan & Chan, our team handles the entire process from document preparation to court filing, allowing you to focus on your family during a difficult time.
