Estate Planning Malaysia

What Is Hibah and How to Use It

Hibah is a gift during your lifetime, often used in Islamic estate planning.

Answer

Hibah is a gift during your lifetime, often used in Islamic estate planning. Setting up a private trust or will prevents bank accounts and property from being frozen during the court’s probate administration process. This guarantees immediate financial support for your beneficiaries under Malaysian law.

Key Takeaways

  • Muslim estate planning incorporates Syariah court requirements alongside standard civil laws.
  • Faraid determines standard shares, but Wasiat and Hibah allow for custom distribution of up to one-third of assets.
  • Partnering with Legacy Trustee Berhad ensures your Amanah is legally protected and Shariah-compliant.
