Will & Testament Services｜Legal Witnessing · Quick Setup · Secure Your Wishes

A Will is a legal document created by an individual (the testator) during their lifetime, taking effect upon death. A properly drafted and lawyer-witnessed will has full legal validity, clearly expressing how assets should be distributed and preventing future inheritance disputes, ensuring your family’s rights are protected. Yip Tse Tang Solicitors provides fast, affordable, and lawful will-drafting services, helping you prepare a clear and enforceable plan for your final wishes.

Why Making a Will Is Important

A will ensures that your estate is distributed according to your own intentions. A valid will represents your lawful directive, which the court will execute under Hong Kong law. Making a will is not just for the elderly — anyone over 18 with property, dependents, or financial obligations should consider it to protect their loved ones and minimize disputes.

Lawyer-Assisted Will Service Fees (HKD)

• Simple Will: HK$1,000 – HK$2,000 (for straightforward estates and mentally sound individuals)
• Detailed Will: From HK$3,000 (for complex provisions or where a medical mental capacity report is required)
• Includes: Appointment of executor(s), designation of beneficiaries, and clear division of assets.

Executor of a Will

The executor is responsible for carrying out the instructions stated in the will after the testator’s death. It is crucial to appoint a trusted family member or friend — for instance, a spouse or adult child — to ensure smooth estate administration. Improper handling by an executor can lead to disputes or delays, so professional legal guidance is highly recommended.
