What Our Clients Say
Rozita Hamzah
Petaling Jaya, Selangor
"We came to Lestari after my father passed without leaving a wasiat. I honestly did not know where to start, and the whole thing felt overwhelming. Ahmad took the time to explain exactly what probate involves and what we needed to prepare. He was not in any rush, which I really appreciated. The process took a few months, but we always knew what was happening."

Koh Wei Lin
Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur
"I booked the estate planning consultation mainly to sort out a will after my husband and I had our second child. Nurul walked us through the civil options clearly and helped us understand what a testamentary trust could do for guardianship. The written summary they sent afterwards was genuinely useful — we referred back to it several times. The price was fair for what was covered."

Ahmad Syafiq
Shah Alam, Selangor
"Managing my late mother's estate was something I had been putting off for months because I did not know how to start. When I finally contacted Lestari, Li Wen was incredibly organised and kept things moving without it ever feeling rushed. The faraid distribution was handled properly and all the documentation was in order. I would not hesitate to recommend them."

Meera Nair
Subang Jaya, Selangor
"My siblings and I were at different points in understanding what our parents' estate involved, and Lestari was very patient in explaining things at a pace everyone could follow. The fixed fee was one of the main reasons we chose them — we had been put off by other firms that billed hourly. No surprises, as they had said."

Tan Hui Ying
Damansara, Kuala Lumpur
"I came in for the estate planning session without knowing exactly what I needed. The conversation itself was genuinely useful — I left with a much clearer picture of what a will would cover, what it would not, and what questions I still needed to think through. The written summary made it easy to follow up. I will likely return for the full engagement in due course."

Nabilah Idris
Ampang, Kuala Lumpur
"Nurul was very knowledgeable about faraid and explained everything in a way that was clear and respectful. Our family had some differences in expectation and she handled those sensitively — she made it clear her role was to apply the law fairly, not to take sides. That helped us all to trust the process."

Case Studies
A Closer Look at Two Engagements
Estate Administration — Kuala Lumpur
Navigating a Multi-Property Estate Without a Will
The Challenge
A family of four adult children sought help after their father passed without a wasiat. The estate included two properties in different states, a savings account, and unit trust holdings. The family had no prior contact with a lawyer and were unsure which authority to approach first.
Our Approach
We assessed the estate, determined the applicable legal route (letters of administration through the High Court), and prepared the full set of required documents. We liaised with the court registry, the relevant land offices, and the bank on the family's behalf over approximately four months.
The Outcome
Letters of administration were granted within four and a half months. Assets were distributed to all four beneficiaries in line with the Distribution Act 1958. The family reported that the experience was much less stressful than they had expected. Total engagement time: 18 weeks.
"We did not know what we were doing at all when we first called. By the end, everything was settled clearly and fairly. I am glad we found Lestari."
Complete Legacy Engagement — Selangor
Full Estate Planning and Administration for a Blended Family
The Challenge
A client in his late fifties came to us with a blended family — children from a previous marriage and a current spouse, with assets held in different categories. He wanted to plan his estate in a way that was fair to all parties and consistent with faraid principles, and also to put hibah arrangements in place for certain assets during his lifetime.
Our Approach
We engaged on the complete legacy package, beginning with an extended planning conversation that covered his full asset picture and family situation. We prepared a wasiat, structured a hibah arrangement for one property, and produced a consolidated estate record documenting all instructions and registered assets. The process was spread across six sessions over three months.
The Outcome
The client left with a complete estate plan, formally executed documents, and a consolidated record to share with his family when the time was right. He described the engagement as giving him "a sense of order" he had not expected to find so straightforwardly. The hibah was registered within the same engagement period.
"I had been putting this off for years. It turned out to be far less complicated than I feared, mainly because Nurul and Ahmad were so methodical about it."
