FAQ: Wills & Probate in Hong Kong
Do I need a will in Hong Kong?
Yes. A valid will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and helps avoid family disputes.
What happens if someone dies without a will?
The estate is distributed under Hong Kong’s intestacy laws, which may not reflect the deceased’s intentions.
Can you help with probate applications?
Absolutely. We assist with all aspects of probate, including documentation, court filings, and asset distribution.
Can I include overseas assets in my Hong Kong will?
Yes, but we recommend reviewing cross-border implications and considering separate wills for different jurisdictions.
What if there’s a dispute over the will?
We represent clients in inheritance disputes and claims for reasonable financial provision under Hong Kong law.
