Authored by Cassandra Lee, this textbook serves as a practical reference for both legal practitioners and individuals seeking clarity in estate administration.

This textbook is intended to be a concise and practical guide on the procedural and substantive legislation which are central in the administration and distribution of non-Muslim estates in Malaysia.

This book contains an in-depth and more extensive discussion on the specific laws applicable in West Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak in the context of Wills, Probate and Letters of Administration. Readers will not only learn of the different and specific laws which are presently applicable in West Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak but also the complexity of the application of laws on inheritance laws in Malaysia given the different legislations which apply in West Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.

As Cassandra is a probate practitioner whose practice has predominantly focused on contentious probate, this book is not written purely as an academic presentation of the law, but it also gives insight to what happens in practice drawing on Cassandra’s experience as a probate practitioner.

The book is a reflection of Cassandra’s commitment to raising standards of practice in estate and inheritance law in Malaysia.
