Make a Will in Singapore
Trusted will writing lawyers serving Singapore since 1994. Protect your loved ones with a professionally drafted will.
Making a Will in Singapore
A will is a written legal document that sets out who receives your assets after your death and who administers your estate. In Singapore, a will is valid only if it is made by a person aged 21 or over and signed in the presence of two witnesses, as the Wills Act 1838 requires. Loh Eben Ong LLP, a Singapore law firm established in 1994, prepares simple wills, comprehensive wills and mirror wills for couples.
Why You Need a Will
Without a valid will, your assets may not be distributed according to your wishes. Here is why making a will is essential.
Protect Your Family
Ensure your loved ones are provided for and your dependants are taken care of according to your wishes.
Appoint Guardians
Nominate trusted guardians for your minor children to ensure they are raised by people you trust.
Distribute Assets Your Way
Specify exactly how your estate should be divided, including property, savings, investments, and personal possessions.
Avoid Family Disputes
A clear, legally valid will minimises the risk of disagreements and costly litigation amongst your family members.

What Happens If You Die Without a Will?
If you pass away without a valid will in Singapore, your assets will be distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act 1967, not according to your wishes.
This means the law decides who inherits your estate, how much each person receives, and who administers your affairs. Your spouse may not receive everything. Unmarried partners and stepchildren may receive nothing at all.
Administering an estate without a will can also add delay and cost for your family.

A will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away. Without a will, your estate will be distributed according to Singapore's intestacy laws, which may not reflect your intentions. A will also allows you to appoint guardians for your minor children, specify funeral arrangements, and minimise the risk of family disputes.
Under section 4 of the Wills Act 1838, you must be at least 21 years old to make a valid will in Singapore. You must also be of sound mind at the time of making the will, meaning you understand the nature and effect of making a will, the extent of your assets, and the claims of persons who might expect to benefit from your estate.

No. CPF savings cannot be distributed by a will. Your CPF savings are distributed according to your CPF nomination. If you have not made a CPF nomination, your CPF savings will be distributed in accordance with the intestacy laws of Singapore. It is important to make a separate CPF nomination if you wish to direct how your CPF savings are distributed.
Yes. Under section 13 of the Wills Act 1838, a will is revoked when you marry or remarry, unless the will was expressed to be made in contemplation of that particular marriage. If you marry after making a will, you should make a new will. Divorce, by contrast, does not revoke a will, so review your will promptly if you divorce.
