Planning a will is important so that your loved ones know your wishes after you are gone. Your will can carry clear instructions about what you want them to do with your money and the things you own. It will also make sure the people you love are taken care of according to your wishes.

Wills in Singapore are governed by the Wills Act. You do not need a lawyer, but many people do seek legal advice. This is to avoid the chance that their wills end up being invalid in the eyes of the law.

If you need legal advice, you might want to consider visiting a free legal clinic. For a list of legal clinics, please visit the following websites:

The legal clinics are staffed by volunteer lawyers, and not all of them may be experts in this area. You should call the clinic before you visit to make sure they can give you the advice you need.
