Intake mapping
We catalogue assets, beneficiaries, existing instruments, and any cross-border elements. You receive a plain-language summary before drafting begins.
The Seal
Plan it once, properly.
Wills, trusts and estates set down in plain language — so your family knows what you intended, and your executors know what to do next.
The Atrium
Estate planning that reads clearly on the day it matters.
Most families delay wills and trust structures because the language feels impenetrable. At TrustLife Legal, we work in the opposite direction: start with what you own, who depends on you, and how you want decisions made — then draft documents that a lay reader can follow without a law degree.
Our counsel rooms at Asia Square are deliberately bright. We sit at a shared table, not across a barrier, and we explain each clause before you sign. Whether you are updating a single will or coordinating cross-border holdings with a family charter, the outcome is the same — a sealed record your executors can act on.
We serve individuals, family offices, and SME directors across Singapore who need estate architecture that survives probate scrutiny and family conversation alike. Our six practice areas cover the full arc from first will to ongoing governance.

Our method
Four stages from first conversation to sealed documents.
We follow a fixed intake sequence so nothing is drafted before we understand your structure. This keeps fees predictable and reduces revision cycles.
Structure design
We propose will provisions, trust mechanics, or corporate layers suited to your goals — with trade-offs stated explicitly, not buried in footnotes.
Draft review
You read marked-up drafts with clause-by-clause commentary. We adjust until the language matches your intent and passes our internal consistency check.
Execution & filing
Signing is witnessed per Singapore requirements. We retain sealed copies, provide executor guidance sheets, and coordinate probate filings where needed.
Capabilities
Six practice areas under one roof.
Estate work rarely sits in isolation. We keep related disciplines in-house so your will, your company constitution, and your property transfer do not contradict each other.
Wills, Trusts & Estate
Testamentary instruments, inter-vivos trusts, lasting powers of attorney, and family charters drafted for clarity and enforceability under Singapore law.
Probate & Administration
Grant applications, executor support, creditor notices, and estate distribution — handled with timelines your beneficiaries can follow.
Corporate & Commercial
Shareholder agreements, director duties, and succession planning for owner-managed businesses preparing for generational transfer.
Contract Drafting
Family loan agreements, pre-nuptial arrangements, and third-party beneficiary clauses that align with your wider estate architecture.
Conveyancing
Residential and commercial property transfers coordinated with estate planning so title and testamentary gifts match.
Compliance & Governance
Trustee duties, regulatory filings, and board governance for family structures that must meet ongoing compliance obligations.

Common questions
Before you book an intake meeting.
-
CPF nominations govern CPF savings only. They do not cover bank accounts, property, investments, or business interests. A will coordinates everything CPF nominations leave out and prevents partial intestacy.
-
Simple wills can move from intake to execution within two to three weeks. Trust structures or cross-border elements require longer mapping. We quote a timeline at intake and hold to it unless you introduce new assets mid-process.
-
A list of assets and liabilities, existing will or trust copies, CPF nomination details, and any specific wishes regarding guardianship or charitable gifts. We send a preparation checklist when you confirm the appointment.
