Real-world scenarios that demonstrate the importance of proper will registration and how our services can help prevent family disputes and ensure your wishes are properly executed.
Mrs Cheung was 86 years old when she passed away. She had 3 sons and a daughter, she died without a Will. She had a real property which was paid for by the eldest son while her living expenses was paid for by the daughter. Mrs Cheung had 3 bank accounts and a small amount of jewellery.
Mrs Cheung mentioned to her friends that as her property was paid for by her eldest son, she intended to "return the property to her eldest son"; she also wanted to "leave something for her daughter" as she was the only one who paid for her living expenses. However, as Mrs Cheung did not leave a Will, according to the laws, including the real property, would be equally divided between her 4 children. Her eldest son strongly disagreed with this. The 4 children have been at odds since then.
Mr Kwok, he was 50 years old when he passed away, married with 2 children who are university students. Mr Kwok was a typical 9-5 wage earner. His main assets were MPF and bank accounts.
Mr Kwok unfortunately died in a traffic accident on his way to work. During his life time, he felt that he was still young, had a simple background, and did not own many assets, therefore he never consider setting up a Will. Unexpectedly, because there was no Will, it took his wife a year to handle the probate, and the whole family fell into financial difficulties.
