On August 10, 2024 (Saturday), Elsa Law & Co. Solicitors participated as guest speakers in an online lecture tailored for professionals at the Malaysia Law Institution, delving into the realms of Hong Kong wills, contested wills, and case studies. This event marks our second sharing of this invaluable knowledge with our Malaysian friends. The lecture was led by our Ms. Elsa Law, Mr. Julian Yung, and Ms. Rosa Pang. The discussion encompassed insights into Hong Kong’s legal framework and intriguing facts, relevant legislation in estate planning, motivations behind will-making, distinctions between testate and intestate succession, elucidation of essential elements in will creation through case studies, will trusts, and enduring powers of attorney.
Our Malaysian colleagues raised pertinent inquiries, demonstrating their keen interest in the topics at hand. Furthermore, we took the opportunity to draw comparisons between the legal frameworks of Hong Kong and Malaysia.
