Malaysia's long-established, government-backed public trustee.
Amanah Raya Berhad (AmanahRaya) is Malaysia's long-established public trustee. Its roots reach back to 1921, when it began as the Department of Public Trustee; it was corporatised in 1995 and is government-owned through the Minister of Finance Incorporated, which gives it considerable institutional stability.
Operating under the Public Trust Corporation Act 1955, AmanahRaya administers a large estate portfolio reported at around RM16.7 billion in value, and says it has handled more than 230,000 estate cases and 155,000 administration cases through a network of 21 branches across the country.
It is best known for will writing, estate administration, Islamic estate planning and trust services — and is often considered by families who specifically want public-trustee backing and Shariah-compliant inheritance structuring.
