Why Choose Niroze Idroos LLC as your Probate Lawyer?
At Niroze Idroos LLC, we understand that dealing with the estate of a deceased loved one can be emotionally and financially overwhelming. We provide clear and cost-effective guidance through the entire process.
We have a proven track record in handling complex and often sensitive matters surrounding the administration of estates of deceased persons. Be it a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, or Re-Sealing of a foreign Probate or Letters of Administration, you’ll have peace of mind while we handle it from start to finish.
PROBATE
A Grant of Probate is issued when the deceased has left behind a valid will. A Muslim’s will must comply with the rules of Faraid, Muslim inheritance law.
The executor(s) named in the will must apply for the grant of probate, which is the legal authority to carry out the instructions set forth in the will.
LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION
If the deceased did not leave a valid will, or the named executor is unable or unwilling to act, an application for the Grant of Letters of Administration must be made.
Number of Administrators
At least 1 and no more than 4 persons can be appointed as administrator(s) in respect of the same estate.
If the beneficiaries include any person(s) below 21 years of age, at least 2 administrators must be appointed.
RE-SEALING OF FOREIGN PROBATE OR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION
If a foreign court has granted probate or letters of administration and the deceased has assets in Singapore, there may be no need to apply for a fresh grant of probate or letters of administration in Singapore. Instead, the foreign probate or letters of administration may be submitted to the High Court of Singapore and resealed. Upon resealing, the foreign probate or letters of administration can be used to deal with the deceased’s assets in Singapore.
Typical Duration:
In our experience, the process of obtaining a probate or letters of administration, generally takes between 6 to 12 weeks for straightforward uncontested cases. However, for more complex cases, especially those involving contested wills or multiple beneficiaries, the process will take longer.
Duties of the Administrator or Executor
The appointed administrator or executor is responsible for managing the deceased’s estate. The key duties include:
Locating and securing the assets of the deceased’s assets;
Paying off any outstanding debts or liabilities of the estate; and
Distributing the estate’s assets according to the instructions in the will or the laws of intestacy.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
I am pleased to provide my feedback on the services rendered by Niroze Idroos LLC with regards to the process of applying for the Grant of Probate for me to act as the Executor of my deceased mother’s estate. Although my mum had already prepared a Last Will and Testament to appoint me as the sole executor of her estate, we still need to seek a solicitor to help us apply for the Grant of Probate from the Family Court. It is a very tedious and cumbersome process which many laymen like us would not know how to handle it.
Mdm Fauziah Said and with the support of her husband, Mr Niroze Idroos, did a fantastic job in getting the Grant of Probate from the Family Court without much problem. Within 1.5 months, we got the actual certificate of “Grant of Probate”. Wow! Very impressive work by the legal team.
I found Mdm Fauziah and Mr Niroze highly professional, competent and knowledgeable not only on commercial estate management but also on Muslim estate matters. They are very polite, thorough and discipline in getting their work done efficiently.
I’m so happy to recommend anyone with legal matters to approach Niroze Idroos LLC for consultation and services. Their fees are also very reasonable and it is value for money.
I’m recommending my family and close friends to use Niroze Idroos LLC for their legal matters, including Faraid, Last Will and Testament.
Thank you Mdm Fauziah and Mr Niroze.
