01
Standard Will (Full Legal Will)
A solid foundation for responsible estate planning.

Conditional Will
Thoughtful planning for life’s uncertainties.
A Conditional Will only takes effect when specific situations occur—such as the death of a spouse, simultaneous death in an accident, or when children are still minors. It acts as a protective back-up plan, ensuring that your estate is distributed appropriately if life does not unfold as expected.
This type of Will is often used alongside a primary Will, giving families peace of mind that even worst-case scenarios are thoughtfully addressed.
Families planning for unexpected or special circumstances.
IDEAL FOR
Parents create a Conditional Will that activates only if both spouses pass away together, ensuring their children’s inheritance is handled under a trust instead of being released outright.
EXAMPLE

Guardian Appointment Will
Protecting your children beyond your lifetime.

By clearly documenting your intentions, this Will helps avoid family disagreements and court intervention during emotionally difficult times.
Parents with minor or dependent children.

04
Insurance-Linked Will
Turning insurance proceeds into lasting protection.
An Insurance-Linked Will is designed to work hand-in-hand with your insurance and takaful nominations. It clarifies how policy proceeds should be treated—whether they pass directly to nominees or form part of your estate—and provides clear instructions when no valid nomination exists.
This ensures insurance payouts are used exactly as intended, such as funding children’s education, supporting dependants, or providing long-term financial security through a trust.
Individuals with life insurance or takaful policies.
IDEAL FOR
A policyholder directs insurance proceeds without a valid nomination into a trust to provide monthly support for their spouse and education funding for their children.

Will Integrated with a Private Trust
Where estate planning becomes legacy planning.
This Will integrates estate distribution with a Private Trust structure, allowing selected assets to be professionally managed after death. Assets can be protected, invested, and distributed over time according to clearly defined rules and purposes.
It is particularly suitable for families seeking long-term wealth preservation, structured distributions to beneficiaries, or added protection for vulnerable or younger family members.

A business owner places company shares and investment assets into a Private Trust so income can support the family while preserving the business for the next generation.

Complex Will
Tailored solutions for complex lives.

A blended family uses a Complex Will to provide lifetime support for a spouse while ensuring children from a previous marriage inherit specific assets later.
