Lawyer Recommendation

[alvin316]

Hi my uncle passed away without a will, my auntie and cousin needs to find a lawyer to get a letter of administration but have been quoted 2500 - 3000. Anyone who is familiar can advice or recommend a reliable and less expensive lawyer for the service?

If estate less than 50k turn to public trustee. Assets under joint names will not be part of estate e.g. hdb flat and cpf with nomination.

They have tried the public trustees as well as legal aid but got rejected.

Thanks to the kind bros who PM me thank you very much.

So is it better to have a will in all cases to save the charges on letter of administration?

I changed my name at vexus' and I paid only $50 for the deed poll while others paid 100+-$200+.
can try asking the lawyer for a quote.

Letter of admin (died without a will) or grant of probate (died with a will) in many cases you still need to engage a lawyer and really there is no much charges you can save (died with or without a will).

I think the key thing here is to understand what is the implication when a person dies without a will.

According to Singapore’s Intestate Succession Act (Cap. 146), meaning in the absence of a will; the rules of Distribution is as follows:
(1) Spouse, children (2) Parents (3) Siblings (4) Grandparents (5) Aunts and Uncles. (6) Our Chenghu... no choice.. reluctantly they will take.
