WillKey™ - Malaysia’s First Will Registry, Introduces Its Services at the 73rd Annual General Meeting of the Malaysian Bar
WillKey™,
Malaysia’s first centralised Will registry was present at the 73rd Annual General
Meeting of the Malaysian Bar to introduce its concept and services to the members attending
the meeting. Held on 16 March 2019 at Wisma MCA in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur,
the Malaysian Bar meeting saw a total of 835 registered members and a host of
other partners in attendance.
The
physical presence of WillKey™ at the national meeting was to create better awareness
of WillKey’s services among the Advocates and
Solicitors coming from every state in Peninsular Malaysia. With WillKey™ serving
as a facility to register, store and search for Wills, where testators can
register information about the whereabouts, or deposit copies of their Wills,
the efficiency of the estate administration process can be improved and
therefore benefit both clients and lawyers.
“Our
motive is to assist our clients in the legal profession, in areas such as Will registration
and storage. Having a Will is essentially important for anyone who has assets
and wants to determine who inherits them. WillKey™ seeks to ensure that Wills
can be easily found, to avoid disputes which can be long drawn-out and which
could extend from months to years. We believe that Malaysians are always
looking for easier and more efficient ways to get things done, so as Malaysia’s
first centralised Will registry, WillKey™ is offering a much-needed service in
this niche,” said Mr Su Tiang Joo, Director of MWD Wills Depository Sdn Bhd.

WillKey™
comes in as a centralised registry that allows predetermined persons such as lawyers,
executors or next-of-kin to access information on a particular Will,
conveniently and without hassle. It also serves as a platform for testators, lawyers
and Will writing service providers to register and or store their Wills or
their clients’ Wills with WillKey™, to make the search process for a Will less tedious.
WillKey™ intends
to provide affordable services without compromising its security and
credibility. A testator only needs to register once with WillKey™ with a
one-time fee of RM133.33. Will storage subscription fees are available from as
low as RM3.33 per month. WillKey™’s fees were designed with affordability in
mind, to avoid this investment into ensuring the security and safe retrieval of
a Will becoming an undue financial burden.
