It took us about 1.5 month to obtain the Letters of Administration for our loved one's estate, which was considered pretty fast. In the course of our meetings with the PKWA Law's Legal Manager, Christina Lim, she gave very succinct legal advice and efficiently prepared the legal documents for our case. A frills-free experience! Thanks!👍👍👍From: Carrine Ng & Angie Ng

We recently engaged Christina for the application of the Grant of Letters of Administration, and I couldn't be more pleased with her services.The entire process took about five months, which was understandable given that there was no will left behind and the time required for submission and approval by the court.Throughout the process, Christina was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She guided us through every step, ensuring that we were well-informed at every stage and what to expect next.After we received the Letter of Administration, she continued to assist us by walking us through the process of setting up an estate account, which was a great help.I highly recommend Christina to anyone in need of legal assistance in this area. Her expertise and supportive approach made a challenging situation much easier to navigate.

Christina attended to me and assisted with required Probate and Letter of Admin letters. Process of getting certain info from gov agencies was tedious as I had to apply for leave during office hours to officially put in the requests personally. But once the info was provided to Christina, processing it was quite fast and scheduling of meetings was straightforward. Would recommend anyone looking for straightforward engagements to consider them.

Ms Charlene was appointed to me for my case in 2018. She has been a very helpful lawyer, going out of her way to assist me in my case. She gave many advises with her expertise. In addition, she is very knowledgeable in her field. With the assistance of Mr Jason, PKWA made my experience a pleasant one, as they would give me advises when necessary, and aid me in providing the necessary information.PKWA is also a helpful firm, as they fairly price their services. They do not overcharge for their services and provide quality service for their client. I will definitely use PKWA as my lawyer if the opportunity arises, especially from Ms Charlene and Jason.

Since the demise of my late brother, my family was in a lost of what to do with his investment account. We were told to get a grant of probate or letter of administrator by the bank from a lawyer. Upon some search from the web, we found PKWA law and I am directed to Jennifer. She is very helpful and detailed in assisting with the letter of administrator. Just within a few meeting, the letter of administrator is ready within a month as compared to 3 to 6 months from other entities. She even went the extra miles to explain on what is to be done with the documents when proceeding to the banks. On a side note, there price is very transparent and no hidden cost. I would highly recommend PKWA. Thanks Jennifer and team for their assistance during our difficult period.

My wife was a Singapore National with permanent residence status in the UK. When she passed away it was necessary to obtain probate both in the UK but also for assets she retained in Singapore. I first contacted PKWA Law when I brought her ashes home to Singapore. They were very helpful and recommended that Probate be first granted in the UK and then submitted by them for resealing in Singapore. This is what happened and it was possible to deal with the whole transaction remotely from the UK. This was because Christina from PKWA was very clear as to what was required and I was able to use a Notary Public in the UK when documents and signatures needed to be certified.Christina was able to ensure that the whole process proceeded without a hitch and in a timely manner.
