A Wasiat on the other hand operates similarly to a Will; for example the elements of a testator and assets are apparent in both Will and Wasiat; but the Wasiat has features that are exclusively for those practising the Muslim faith; i.e. Islam. As one of the definition in the Muslim Wills Enactment in the State of Selangor 1999 “a person takes an oath during his life towards his property or benefit to complete something for the purposes of a welfare or any means which is permissible in accordance to Syarak Law, after his death.”

In Islam, Muslims are encouraged to prepare a Wasiat to ensure that there is an appointment of a Wasi (executor/trustee), who will be the person who is responsible to distribute the assets of the Testator to the Waris (beneficiaries). The Quran mentions in Surah An-Nisa’, the portions of a testator’s assets to the beneficiaries. These beneficiaries mentioned in the Quran are commonly called the Quranic Heirs. The portions and Quranic Heirs mentioned are also compiled to be known as a system – Faraid.

So when we speak of inheritance and the proportioning of assets for Muslims, the Faraid system of distribution is to be followed; which would be completed by a Wasi. Even though a Muslim’s assets will be distributed according to Faraid, by having a surat Wasiat, one can expedite the legal process for their beneficiaries to liquidate the assets[1]. This is because the appointment of a Wasi would ensure that the beneficiaries from the Faraid distribution and the Wasiat portion; be taken care of in a timely manner. Without a Wasiat, the possibility of the portions for the Quranic Heirs being distributed becomes stagnant or very slow.

Having said that, Faraid exists in harmony with Wasiat. A testator can also make provisions to benefit their loved ones who do not fall within the category of Quranic Heirs and/or beneficiaries in Islam, for example, adopted children, non-Muslim parents or any charitable body. The portions for those beneficiaries named in a Wasiat would only be of one-third (⅓) of the testator’s assets.

    “I need to find an exit for my shares when I am not around.”

    A well-constructed plan is essential to protect the value of the business and provide cash for the family in the event there is a major disruption in the business due to a co-owner’s death, disability, retirement or serious major illness or any other event that jeopardizes the continuity of the business.

    Ask yourself :

    ✅ If a co-owner dies today, can you work with his family to run the business?

    ✅ Will the co-owner’s family members know how to run the business with you?

    ✅ Can they work well with you?

    ✅ Would your beneficiaries be able to get a fair price?

    ✅ Do you have the funds to buy out the co-owner’s shares/interests from the family members when there is no pre-agreed price in a written agreement?

    ✅ Can the shares/interests you are purchasing be transferred quickly to you?

    Problems Without Business Protection Plan

    Often these are:-

    • A new partnership is created due to the inheritance of the shares/interest by inexperienced heirs. Chances are this new partnership may fail.
    • There is no pre-agreed price for any sale to take place when the heirs decide to sell to the other co-owners. As a result, it may take years to settle a transaction price.
    • Some of the unqualified heirs may insist on being directors of the company and be active in running the business. This may lead to serious disruptions and disputes within management.
    • It is possible that the co-owners may decide to abandon the business and start their own due to disputes with the heirs.
    • Loss of profits and uncertainty about the business future success.
    • After all your hard work in building your business, you need to avoid such problems.

            A Charitable Trust allows you to leave some or all of your estate to an organization of your choice. You can leave money, stocks, real estate, and other valuable assets, such as artwork. It can be an important part of your estate plan.

            You can donate money through other types of trusts, but a Charitable Trust has the primary goal of donating to nonprofit organizations.

            Charitable Trust aren’t for everyone, though. For one, they’re a type of irrevocable trust, which means you can’t always make changes to the details of the trust once it’s been created. It also may not be worth the cost if you are only donating small amounts to a charity

            Payments from a charitable last for a set period of time. Known as the payment period, this is the lifespan of the trust. To use a real world example, the payment period of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a Charitable Trust originally created by Bill Gates, lasts until 50 years after the Gates’ deaths.

            The payment period (as well as who receives payments) is specified in the trust document. This is a legal document that lays out the details of the trust.

                    Being a divorce and single mother to my two young daughters has been very hard on me. I have no one but myself and my daughters. I have to work 7 days a week as a lecturer in various colleges to provide for my daughters. I am constantly worried about their well-being should an accident happen to me or suffer from a serious illness.

                    I was watching a movie on a Saturday night with my 2 children and Mei Mei turned and said, “Daddy, I love you.” I was touched. My wife passed away after giving birth to Mei Mei. I have been saving my hard earned money in case my heart’s condition gets worse but my daughters are still minors and not able to manage the money. My thoughts are troubled.

                    How can a “Single Parent” protect their children?

                    By setting up a Single Parent Trust, it can give you peace of mind knowing that when you are not able to provide financial security to your children, the trust will do so. Our Single Parent Trust is the solution to secure your children’s future.

                    During the lifetime of the single parent but before any disability or critical illness, he/she may be the sole beneficiary. However, if the single parent becomes disabled or critically ill during his/her lifetime, then the children be entitled a portion (say 60%) and the remainder to the single parent. Upon the death of the single parent, the children will be the beneficiaries until the end of the trust.
