Overview
What is Wills, Estate, Trusts & Succession?
This covers how an estate is planned for and how it's settled: drafting, reviewing and registering a will; succession and legal heir certificates where somebody dies without one; and setting up, registering and amending private, family and charitable trusts. A will avoids disputes later; a trust holds assets under rules that outlive any one person's involvement.
Who it's for
Who needs it
Anyone drafting or updating a will
First-time wills, a review of one drafted elsewhere, or an amendment through a codicil.
Families settling an estate with no will
Establishing legal heirs and obtaining the certificate needed to claim what the deceased left behind.
Families setting up a private or family trust
Structuring how family assets are held and passed on, outside of a will.
Founders and donors setting up a charitable trust
A trust deed drafted and registered for a public charitable purpose.
Eligibility & requirements
Why is it needed?
Without a will, an estate is distributed under the succession law that applies to the family — which may not match what anybody actually wanted, and usually takes longer to settle. A poorly drafted will can be just as costly, since an ambiguity is exactly what gets contested. A trust, done properly, keeps family or charitable assets managed under a fixed set of rules rather than left to whoever is around at the time.

Documents Required
Process & timeline
How we get it done
Understand the estate or the family's intent
We work through what exists, who is involved, and what the document needs to achieve.
Drafting
The will or trust deed is drafted in clear terms, checked against what you actually intend.
Execution and registration
Signed with the witnesses a will requires, or registered at the sub-registrar's office where that applies.
Certificate or document delivered
You receive the executed document, and, for a succession matter, the certificate the court issues.
Why Clikdocs
Why work with us
Drafted to avoid the disputes that actually happen
We draft in the clear terms that hold up later, not the vague language that becomes the very thing contested.
The right instrument, not just the requested one
Where a trust would achieve more than a will, or a simpler document would do, we say so.
Reviewed by qualified professionals
Every will and trust deed is checked by someone qualified to do so before it is finalised.
Progress you can see
Follow your matter on your Clikdocs dashboard instead of chasing anyone for an update.
