活動重點

"Nothing is certain except death and taxes." Benjamin Franklin.
 

Death is unavoidable. One who dies without a Will can leave behind confusion and headaches for the survived ones such as who are the beneficiaries and custody of minor children may not go to the proper person. By making an effective Will, one can control what happens to one’s home, money, and everything else according to his wishes. One can have peace of mind.
 

In making a Will, one should pay attention to various matters to avoid or minimise disputes.  People are mobile nowadays. There are foreign matters in consideration.  In this presentation, the speaker will refer to the relevant legislations, and court cases and worked examples to illustrate the topic. Further, the speaker will share his 20+ years’ notary experience within the context of this topic.
