Legal Battle Over RM 400m Estate

An article in TheStar today mentioned that the legal battle over the estate of the late Tan Sri Syed Kechik Syed Mohamed Al-Bukhary after the federal court affirmed a decision that the estate be jointly administered. This legal battle delayed the distribution for almost 2 years. Syed Kechik died of heart failure on April 10, 2009 at the age 80. Because he died without leaving a will, even selecting an administrator creator this problem in the family.

I’m sure getting lawyers involved cost a lot of money not to mention the family fighting over the estate. Problems that can be avoided by writing a Will.
