Will preparation checklist

Timeliss · Singapore

1. Choose your people

• Name your beneficiaries

  The people who will inherit. Have their full legal names ready and decide what each should receive.

• Appoint an executor

  Choose someone to carry out your wishes and ask whether they are willing. Consider a backup executor too.

• Consider a guardian

  If you have minor children, think about who you would want to care for them and get professional advice.

2. Know what you’re leaving

• List your assets and debts

  Include your main property, savings and belongings, along with any outstanding debts.

• Decide how to divide your estate

  Choose gifts or shares for your beneficiaries and consider who should inherit if someone cannot.

• Check your CPF nomination separately

  CPF savings are not distributed through your will.

3. Plan to sign and store it

• Arrange two eligible witnesses

  They will need to witness your signature together and sign in your presence. Avoid beneficiaries and their spouses.

• Review, print and sign

  Check every name and gift, then follow the signing instructions with your witnesses.

• Keep the signed original safe

  Tell your executor where to find it. You can upload a copy to your Timeliss case.
