Clear guidance on protecting what you've built

MalaysiaTrustee.com helps Malaysian families understand wills, trusts and estate planning in plain English — and connect with a licensed trustee to put a plan in place.

Why we exist

Most Malaysians never get around to protecting what they own — and the cost of that lands on the people they leave behind. With a large majority holding no valid will, and an estimated RM70 billion in assets frozen and unclaimed, clear and honest information has rarely mattered more.

We are not a trust company. MalaysiaTrustee.com is an independent information resource: we publish plain-English guides to estate planning, explain how Malaysia's main licensed trustees differ, and point readers toward a licensed trustee who can carry a plan out.

How we work

Plain English, legally grounded. Our guides are written for families rather than lawyers, and are based on Malaysia's trust and estate law — the Wills Act 1959, the Distribution Act 1958 and the Trust Companies Act 1949 among them.

Honest about our partner. We feature Global Asset Trustee (GAT) — an independent, licensed trust company — as our recommended partner. We tell you that openly on every relevant page. Our guides and trustee information are written independently; the actual trust services are provided by licensed trustees such as GAT, not by us.

Kept current. We update our guides and trustee information as the law and the market change.

Disclaimer. Everything on this site is general information only — not financial, legal or tax advice. Please get independent advice from a qualified lawyer or licensed professional before putting any will or trust in place.
