Professional Executorship (Activation)*

From SGD 500 per hour

Professional executorship refers to the appointment of a qualified professional, such as a lawyer or a licensed trust company, to act as executor of the estate. Unlike a family member or friend, a professional executor brings expertise, impartiality, and administrative experience to the role.

You should consider having a professional executor if you do not have a trusted individual in mind for the role, or prefer to have a professional executor to ensure that your estate is managed efficiently, in compliance with the law, and without burdening loved ones with complex or contentious responsibilities.

Muslim Wills

Fees to be advised by EMRE

If you are a Muslim in Singapore and intend to make a Will, the requirements for making your Will differ from those of a non-Muslim, in that it must be subject to, and governed by, the conditions and limitations prescribed under the school of Muslim law you follow (i.e., in compliance with your religious obligations).

Probate e-Service

SGD 500

Probate eService is an online service that a named sole executor can use to apply for a Grant of Probate. The eService will assist the sole executor in preparing and submitting the required probate documents to the court. However, there are certain eligibility requirements, such as it is only available for the sole executor named in the Will of the deceased who is a non-Muslim Singaporean or PR with a total estimated estate value of not more than $2 million.

EMRE can assist to guide the executor in using this eService if the case fits the criteria.
