Often after one makes a will, there will be unhappiness, so have to be careful of who u tell the contents of the will to.
Do it at lawyer. They will provide witnesses.Since the 2 witnesses cannot benefit from the will, any ideas who we can approach to be witnesses, if we prefer not to trouble friends/ relatives?

No.........Thanks qhong61 & henry.
Because it's going to be a very simple & straightforward will, was hoping to save $300 by using OCBC's will generator then realised that we'd have to trouble 2 pax to be witnesses. Was wondering if any gov offices could provide such a service, like when we made our cpf nomination or any creative ideas u guys have
Go lawyer best. How detailed can be done. Only charges different.How detailed is a will exactly? Like how much from what bank goes to who, these shares go to who?
Honestly when some ppl die, it’s gonna be complicated coz they have money here and there, shares here and there, investments bere and there... how to sort out? There may be a chance some sums of money is missed out and will forever be in limbo without anyone knowing...

Why ur aunty didn't want to will to her own children?I am preparing for a day when I may be a plaintiff
Background -
Basically, my Aunty has made me a beneficiary of a 3rm hdb flat that is 50% owned with her adopted son, who is my real brother. l will never know whether her biological children have made her to change her will subsequently.
My Aunty will be hundred early next year and is living with her biological son. I promised my Aunty that the half share willed to me will be held by me to prevent the adopted son from selling the flat. If I am forced to sell, I told my Aunty that I plan to give my share to the adopted son over a period of time in installments.
I discussed the matter with the the biological son and he indicated no interest in the matter or the hdb flat. Few years after the Will was made, the son got his elder sister (to fly down from UK) to discuss with me about the selling of the said hdb flat and if not, allow her to made the mother to change the will with her or her daughter as the beneficiary
I disagreed with the intention to sell the flat and I also made it clear to the sister not to attempt to make her mother to change the will. In short, I told her that I will contest the changed will to the end when her mother die, even it may be a futile or dumb suit.
So I am preparing whether I, before my death, can appoint someone to carry my legal action, should I die before the closure of the legal suit. I am prepared to drag on the case as long as I can and as long as I can afford the legal fee, even it means spending more than half my share of the flat

First time "shopping" around for will writing and LPA (lasting power of attorney).
May I know if this is a fair price?
Basic Will
Basic/Simple Will – starts from S$338. This is a “general Will” in which the testator gives his entire estate to up to 6 beneficiaries appointing 2 Executors
1) Additional Clause – Add S$50 per clause.
2) Additional Executor or Trustee – Add S$20 per Executor or Trustee.
4) Additional Beneficiaries from a) 7 to 10 – Add S$50. b)11 to 20 – Add S$100.
Lasting Power of Attorney
LPA Form 1 – S$250 excluding administrative and charges imposed by the Office of Public Guardian.
Singapore Citizen – Registration Fee $75 waived till 31st Aug 2018
Permanent Resident – Registration Fee $100
Foreigners – Registration Fee $250
Not too sure how much the LPA will add up to, since I don't know what are the "administrative and charges imposed by Office of Public Guardian".
U need two witnesses.You can write your own will by referring to here:

Save yourself a few hundred dollars to go for a good meal and can rewrite the will any time you want.
