Three Service Engagements
Legal Services Structured Around Your Circumstances
Whether you need an initial orientation, formal probate support, or comprehensive estate stewardship, Kemuncak offers a structured engagement appropriate to each level of need.
← Return to HomepageOur Methodology
Each service engagement at Kemuncak is structured to deliver a specific, defined outcome — not an open-ended process that expands without boundary. Before any engagement begins, we discuss the scope and expected deliverables so clients understand what they are entering.
Our work draws on both civil inheritance law and Faraid principles, applied to the facts of each matter. Where complexity or uncertainty exists, we identify it clearly and advise on the options available — without framing any particular path as the only course of action.
All client communications are handled through the assigned practitioner, not through support staff or intermediaries. Estate and inheritance matters require a consistent professional relationship, and that is what Kemuncak delivers.
Initial Contact & Scope Assessment
We discuss the nature of the matter and identify the appropriate service tier before any engagement begins.
Structured Session or Engagement
The engagement proceeds according to the agreed scope — session, counsel, or full stewardship — with clear milestones.
Written Deliverables & Conclusion
Each engagement concludes with a written document — options note, filed application, or completed estate documentation — depending on the service.
Estate & Inheritance Position Session
A considered first session for clients who wish to understand their position on estate and inheritance matters, whether for their own forward planning or in response to a recent bereavement. The session covers will preparation considerations, civil and Faraid distribution principles, EPF and insurance nominations, lifetime gift considerations, probate and administration processes, and any contested matters. The conversation takes place in private and concludes with a written note of options.
- Will preparation and planning considerations
- Civil and Faraid distribution explained
- EPF nominations and insurance planning
- Lifetime gift and inter-vivos considerations
- Private session — written options note provided
Session fee
RM 255
Probate & Letters of Administration Counsel
Careful support for executors, administrators, and family members through the formal processes following a death — including preparation and filing of applications for grant of probate where a will exists, or letters of administration where it does not. The engagement covers identification and inventory of estate assets, settlement of debts, distribution to beneficiaries, and any matters arising during administration. The work is conducted with sensitivity to the family's circumstances and at a pace that respects the period of bereavement.
- Grant of probate application preparation and filing
- Letters of administration where no will exists
- Estate asset identification and inventory
- Debt settlement and beneficiary distribution
- Handling of matters arising during administration
Engagement fee
RM 720
Complete Estate Stewardship Engagement
A comprehensive engagement for clients with substantial or complex estate matters — significant family business interests, multi-jurisdictional assets, family considerations spanning civil and Faraid principles, contested estate positions, or the establishment of testamentary or inter-vivos trust structures. The engagement provides full estate planning advice, drafting of all required documents, administration support, representation through any contested matters, and standing counsel through the longer arc of estate planning and administration.
- Full estate planning advice and documentation
- Trust structure establishment (testamentary or inter-vivos)
- Multi-jurisdictional asset planning
- Representation in contested estate matters
- Standing counsel through the full engagement arc
