Can a foreigner draft a Will in Singapore?

Typically, commonwealth countries like Malaysia and Australia do recognise Singapore-drafted wills.

Regardless, while foreigners can make a will in Singapore for their Singapore assets. If they wish to include other overseas assets, we recommend they seek a Will writer/lawyer specialised in estate planning that respective country.

Additionally, while Singapore does not have any estate/inheritance tax, such taxes might be applicable due to their countries' tax laws.

Lastly, if the Singapore Will includes guardianship clauses, please ensure that you align the guardianship clauses in all your Wills, so they do not conflict with one another.
