What Our Clients Say
A selection of feedback from families we have worked with across the Klang Valley.
Noraini Razali
Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur
My late mother left no will, and I had no idea where to begin. From the first phone call, Suraya took the time to explain exactly what needed to happen. She never made us feel hurried. The probate took about five months, which she had prepared us for, and we were kept informed throughout. I cannot imagine having managed without their guidance.

Chan Kim Hoong
Petaling Jaya
My siblings and I disagreed over how our father's property should be distributed, and it had become quite tense. Krishnamurthy managed the whole process with real tact — he acknowledged each person's concerns without taking sides. We reached an agreement that everyone could accept, and importantly, our relationship as a family survived it. That mattered to us more than the outcome itself.

Shalini Murugesan
Cheras, Kuala Lumpur
I came in wanting to write a will but unsure how to approach it given some complicated family circumstances. The consultation felt like a conversation, not a transaction. My wishes were heard and explained back to me clearly before anything was drafted. The final document was exactly what I needed. A calm, professional experience from start to finish.

Abdul Hakim Ismail
Ampang, Selangor
We needed help understanding the Faraid distribution for my late uncle's estate. Teratai Adil explained the process clearly and helped us navigate the relevant authority filings without any confusion. Yap Chin Wei was especially helpful in keeping paperwork on track. I would refer anyone from my community to them without hesitation.

Lim Yoke Wan
Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur
I appreciated that they explained the fee in full before I agreed to anything. After a previous experience with another firm where the costs kept rising unexpectedly, this was genuinely reassuring. The work was thorough and the communication consistent. My only note is that occasionally response times stretched to a day and a half — minor, but worth mentioning honestly.

Roshini Nair
Damansara, Selangor
My husband and I used Teratai Adil to put together our estate plan — wills for both of us and a trust for our children. What we valued most was that they did not try to make things more complicated than they needed to be. The advice was practical, the documents were clear, and we left feeling settled and well looked after.

Case Studies
A closer look at three matters where careful, considered support made a real difference.
Resolving a Disputed Will Among Three Siblings
The Situation
Three adult children disputed a will that had been changed six months before their parent's passing. Two felt the change did not reflect their parent's true intentions; the third believed it was valid. Relationships were strained and formal proceedings had been threatened.
Our Approach
We were engaged by two of the siblings and immediately sought to open mediated dialogue with the third. Krishnamurthy facilitated three mediation sessions over four weeks. Medical and witness evidence was reviewed to assess the will's circumstances.
The Outcome
A negotiated settlement was reached that addressed each sibling's core concerns. Formal proceedings were avoided. The matter was resolved in approximately six weeks — considerably faster and less costly than litigation. All three siblings confirmed the outcome was acceptable.

Estate Administration for a Complex Multi-Asset Estate
The Situation
The estate included property in two states, EPF savings, unit trust holdings, and a small business interest. The deceased had a valid will but had not updated it to reflect assets acquired in later years. The executor felt overwhelmed and unsure how to proceed.
Our Approach
We prepared a full asset schedule, applied for the grant of probate, coordinated with the relevant financial institutions and land offices in both states, and managed beneficiary correspondence throughout. Regular written updates were provided at each stage.
The Outcome
The estate was fully distributed to beneficiaries within eight months. The executor described the process as "much less frightening than I had expected." All assets were transferred correctly with no challenges from beneficiaries.

Estate Planning for a Family Business Owner
The Situation
A business owner in his 60s wanted to ensure his company would pass to his son while providing fairly for his two daughters. He had concerns about business continuity and fairness in equal measure, and had heard conflicting opinions from family members.
Our Approach
We held two extended consultation sessions to understand the family structure and business arrangements fully. We then drafted a will and recommended a complementary trust structure to address both the business succession and the fair provision for all three children.
The Outcome
Documents were finalised and executed within three weeks. The client described feeling "settled for the first time in years" regarding his affairs. The trust structure provided a pathway for the daughters to receive their share without disrupting business operations.
