We have advised and represented many clients on the following areas:

We have assisted several clients in meticulous will preparation and setting up trusts, including declaration of trusts.

Trusts are legal arrangements in which assets are held by one party (the trustee) for the benefit of another party (the beneficiary). Trusts are commonly used for estate planning, tax planning, asset protection, and charitable purposes. In Singapore, trusts are governed by the Trust Companies Act and the Trustees Act, among other laws.

Our services relate to the creation and administration of trusts. We assist clients in choosing the appropriate type of trust for their specific needs, preparing necessary documentation, and providing ongoing support for the administration of the trust. Trusts can take many forms, including revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, testamentary trusts, and charitable trusts.

Another important aspect of trust law is tax planning. Trusts can be structured in a way that minimizes tax liability, both for the trust and for the beneficiaries.

We are an established practice in this area. Many complex adoption matters have been resolved in our clients’ favour and we have been highly commended for our dedication and competent services. As adoption laws in Singapore are designed to protect the rights of both the adoptive parents and the child, we strive to achieve just that, whether in obtaining requisite consents, submitting the required documentation, and attending court hearings, where necessary, in contested and uncontested hearings.

International family law also encompasses international child abduction, which occurs when one parent removes a child from his or her country of habitual residence without the consent of the other parent. In such cases, the left-behind parent may seek the return of the child under the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

Specialising in international family law, we can assist clients in navigating the complex legal process involved in international child abduction cases, surrogacy arrangements, cross border adoptions and division of international assets.

Wills are legal documents that specify how a person's assets will be distributed after his/her death.
