Three Services.
One Steady Hand.
Whether you are planning your estate, administering one, or navigating a family disagreement, Teratai Adil provides focused, considered legal support at every stage.
Our Approach
Whatever the nature of your matter, the same principles guide how we work.
Listen First
Before advising, we listen. Understanding your family's situation, wishes, and concerns shapes everything we do.
Explain Clearly
We set out the process, the options, and the likely outcomes in plain language before any commitment is made.
Act Carefully
Accuracy and sensitivity in equal measure. We proceed methodically so that matters are handled correctly the first time.
Estate Planning Consultation
From RM 255
A calm, unhurried conversation about your wishes and how to record them in a legally sound form. We take time to understand your family structure, the assets you wish to address, and any particular concerns you may have. The result is a clear plan — whether a will, a nomination of beneficiaries, or a trust arrangement — that reflects your intentions precisely.
What this service includes:
- Initial advisory meeting (in person or by appointment)
- Review of existing documents if any
- Will drafting or review in plain language
- Guidance on trust structures and nominations
- Explanation of applicable Malaysian law
Process:
Preliminary call or email to outline your situation
Engagement letter issued — scope and fee confirmed in writing
Consultation meeting at our Jalan Maarof office
Draft documents prepared and reviewed with you
Final documents executed and retained or handed over
Probate and Estate Administration
From RM 660
When a family member passes away, the administrative work that follows can feel overwhelming. Our team handles the process on your behalf — from gathering documents and applying for the grant of probate or letters of administration, through to the distribution of assets — keeping you informed at each stage without burdening you with detail you do not need.
What this service includes:
- Estate asset identification and valuation guidance
- Preparation and filing of probate application
- Dealings with the High Court and relevant authorities
- Beneficiary notification and correspondence
- Asset distribution in accordance with the will or law
Process:
Initial meeting to understand the estate and obtain relevant documents
Engagement letter confirming scope and fee structure
Application prepared and filed with the appropriate court or authority
Progress updates issued at each meaningful milestone
Assets distributed; final account provided to all beneficiaries
Inheritance Dispute Resolution
From RM 1,555
When family members disagree over an estate — whether questioning the validity of a will, disputing the distribution of assets, or challenging a previous arrangement — sensitive, experienced handling makes a meaningful difference. We work to find fair outcomes through negotiation and mediation first, reserving formal proceedings for situations where they are genuinely necessary.
What this service includes:
- Initial assessment of the dispute and relevant documents
- Mediation and facilitated family negotiation
- Correspondence with other parties and their representatives
- Formal representation before authorities if required
- Negotiated settlement documentation
Process:
Confidential consultation to understand the nature of the dispute
Review of all relevant documents and background materials
Mediation or negotiation with other parties sought first
Formal proceedings commenced only if amicable resolution is not achievable
Resolution documented and binding arrangements put in place
