About 48% of Singaporeans don’t have a will ¹. Without one, your estate is distributed by default under the Intestate Succession Act ² — which may not match your wishes. Tell us your situation and we’ll find the best-fit will writing provider for you, and arrange a free consultation. Free for you — the provider pays us when we make a successful match.

What happens to your things when you go?
A will lets you decide. Without one, Singapore law decides for you — and not always the way you’d want.
A will is a legal document that sets out how your estate — everything you own — should be distributed after you pass away. It also lets you appoint an executor to manage your affairs and a guardian for any children under 21⁴.
Without a will, your estate is distributed by default under the Intestate Succession Act ². The default rules may not match what you actually want. For example, if you’re married with children, the law splits your estate 50% to your spouse and 50% to your children — even if you wanted to provide for parents or siblings too ⁴.
For Muslims domiciled in Singapore, the rules are different. Distribution is governed by the Administration of Muslim Law Act (AMLA) and Faraid principles. A Muslim will (Wasiat) can only freely allocate up to one-third of the estate to non-Faraid beneficiaries ⁵ ⁶.
Some assets sit outside your will entirely. CPF savings, for example, are not covered by a will — they pass via a separate CPF nomination made through CPF Board ⁷ ⁸. HDB flats and property held in joint tenancy pass to the surviving co-owner by right of survivorship and cannot be distributed via will ⁹.
CRITICAL THINGS TO KNOW
Three rules people get wrong.
Witnesses cannot be beneficiaries. A gift in your will to anyone who witnessed the signing (or their spouse) is void ³.
Marriage revokes a previous will. Unless your will was made “in contemplation of marriage,” getting married cancels it ³.
CPF is separate. CPF monies do not form part of your estate. You need a separate CPF nomination ⁷.
Different lives, different wills.
A single 28-year-old renting an HDB flat needs a different will from a married couple with three children — and both need something different from a Muslim family bound by Faraid. Pick the one that fits.
01 / FOR INDIVIDUALS
Simple Will.
For unmarried adults, single parents, or anyone whose estate plan is straightforward. Covers personal assets, executor appointment, and clear beneficiary nomination.
Single
NO DEPENDENTS
PERSONAL ASSETS
02 / FOR COUPLES
Mutual or Mirror Will.
For married couples and partners. Mirror wills mean each spouse leaves everything to the other, then to the same beneficiaries. Useful when you both want the same plan.
MARRIED
PARENTS
JOINT ASSETS
03 / FOR MUSLIMS
Muslim Will (Wasiat).
For Muslims domiciled in Singapore, governed by AMLA and Faraid. A Wasiat can allocate up to one-third of the estate to non-Faraid beneficiaries — the rest follows Faraid.

FARAID
WASIAT
04 / PLAN BOTH
Will vs. LPA.
A will takes effect after death. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) takes effect if you lose mental capacity while alive. Most estate plans need both.

Estate planning doesn't end at a will.
A will is the foundation. But a complete estate plan in Singapore usually involves more: CPF nomination, Lasting Power of Attorney, and sometimes a trust. Here’s what else to think about. ¹⁰
01 / Separate from your will
CPF Nomination
CPF savings are not covered under your will. You can make a separate CPF nomination through the CPF Board to decide who receives your CPF savings. CPF nominations are free to make.
02 / Coming soon
Lasting Power of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity. This is different from a will, which only takes effect after death.
03 / For Muslims
Faraid & Wasiat
For Muslims in Singapore, estate distribution is governed by AMLA and Faraid principles. A Wasiat allows you to distribute up to one-third of your estate to non-Faraid beneficiaries.
One will, peace of mind for your family.
About 48% of Singaporeans still don’t have one ¹. Don’t leave it to the Intestate Succession Act to decide. Find the right will writing service for your situation in 60 seconds.
