SS2 shop-house landlords dealing with multi-tenant commercial succession where rental deposits exceed six months’ income.

Detailed Explanation
SS2 shop-house landlords dealing with multi-tenant commercial succession where rental deposits exceed six months’ income. A deceased landlord’s estate must honour existing tenancy agreements, but probate freezes access to the deposits held. Without a proper wasiat planning structure, these complications extend to probate delays that freeze family assets for months or years, forcing spouses to borrow against credit cards for school fees and medical bills.
Wasiat beneficiaries who are also Faraid heirs must consent in writing if the wasiat exceeds the permissible one-third. This written consent must be notarised and filed with the Syariah High Court before probate. Malaysian families who delay this documentation leave spouses and children exposed to court-processed distribution that may not match their intentions. The Distribution Act 1958 assigns statutory shares that ignore family dynamics, potentially giving estranged relatives equal footing with lifelong partners.
A tailored wasiat planning plan removes this risk. You decide exactly who receives what, when they receive it, and under what conditions. Assets held in a trust bypass probate entirely. By bypassing the court probate process, your beneficiaries can access key inheritance funds within 7 to 10 working days.
