PC · Why Clients Choose Us
What Thoughtful Counsel Looks Like
No Rushed Consultations
Each matter begins with time set aside to understand your situation properly, without pressure to move quickly through the details that matter most.
Cross-Border Experience
We work with Malaysian families whose assets span multiple jurisdictions, coordinating with overseas counsel while keeping clients informed throughout.
Drafted to Your Circumstances
Documents are prepared specifically for each client's family and asset structure — not adapted from templates or filled in around a standard form.
Written Updates as Standard
Executors, beneficiaries, and clients receive clear written summaries at each stage of a matter — so nothing important passes unannounced.
Honest About Timelines
Probate and cross-border estate matters take time. We share realistic views on duration from the start rather than offering timelines that cannot be kept.
Confidential by Practice
Estate and family matters carry weight. Information shared with Pusaka Counsel is handled with discretion as a professional obligation, not an afterthought.

PC · Common Questions
Questions We Hear Often
How long does a standard will drafting engagement take?
Most estate plan drafting engagements span four to eight weeks, depending on the complexity of assets and how many rounds of revision are needed. We work at a pace that allows clients to consider each draft carefully before we proceed.
What makes probate more complicated when foreign assets are involved?
When a deceased person held assets in more than one country, each jurisdiction typically requires its own legal process. A Malaysian Grant of Probate may need to be resealed or re-applied for in the relevant foreign jurisdiction. Coordinating these processes takes time, and different countries move at different speeds.
Do I need a trust if I already have a will?
Not always, but for some families a trust provides arrangements that a will cannot — particularly where there are minor children, a beneficiary who may need ongoing support, or a wish to provide across more than one generation. We can discuss whether a trust would serve your circumstances during an initial consultation.
What are your fees and how are they structured?
Our fees are fixed for each service and shared clearly before any engagement begins. Estate plan drafting starts from RM 4,500, probate administration with foreign assets from RM 3,800, and trust establishment from RM 2,500. We do not bill by the hour for these services, so clients know what to expect.
How is client information handled?
All matters handled by Pusaka Counsel are treated with the confidentiality required under Malaysian legal professional standards. Information shared during consultations or in the course of an engagement is not disclosed beyond what is necessary to carry out the work.
Can I begin the process before a family member passes away?
Yes, and in most cases it is advisable to do so. Putting a will and trust arrangements in place during one's lifetime allows for proper consideration, revision, and planning. It also reduces the burden placed on family members at an already difficult time.
