没有遗嘱,会发生什么What happens without a will

没留下一份遗嘱,家人可能要等上12个月才能拿到您的资产。 No will means your family may wait up to 12 months just to access what you left behind.

在马来西亚,身故时没有立遗嘱,遗产将依据《1958年分配法令》处理,受益人须向 Amanah Raya Berhad(公共信托局)或法院申请遗产管理。以下内容根据 AmanahRaya 官方文件整理,附上真实案例分享与互动收费估算器。 Dying without a will in Malaysia means your estate falls under the Distribution Act 1958, and your beneficiaries must apply through Amanah Raya Berhad or the courts to administer it. Below is a plain-language breakdown of the official fee schedule, real cases, and an interactive fee calculator.

认领流程Claim process

没有留下遗嘱,家人要怎么认领遗产?No will left behind — how do beneficiaries claim the estate?

没有遗嘱身故称为"无遗嘱死亡",遗产分配受《1958年分配法令》管辖。以下是一般申请流程,实际步骤视资产类型与文件齐全度而定。Dying without a will is "intestate" — distribution falls under the Distribution Act 1958. Below is the general process; actual steps vary by asset type and document completeness.

01

确认遗产类型与总值Determine asset type & total value

先厘清遗产是否含不动产(房产、地契),以及现金、公积金、股票等动产总值,决定该向哪个机构申请。Establish whether the estate includes immovable property, and the total value of cash, EPF, shares and other movables, to determine which authority to apply to.

02

选择申请途径Choose an application route

可向 Amanah Raya Berhad 申请(直接管理 / 小额遗产管理),或委托私人律师向高庭申请遗产管理书(Letter of Administration)。Apply through Amanah Raya Berhad (direct or small estate administration), or engage a private lawyer to petition the High Court for a Letter of Administration.

03

备齐所需文件Prepare required documents

包括死亡证书、所有受益人身份证、资产证明文件、债务文件等(详见下方申请条件清单)。Death certificate, all beneficiaries' ID, proof of assets, debt documents, and more (see checklist below).

04

缴付按金并提交申请Pay deposit & submit application

根据管辖类型缴付最低预付按金(RM50至RM1,000不等),提交申请予 AmanahRaya 或法庭审核。Pay the minimum deposit (RM50–RM1,000 depending on jurisdiction) and submit the application for review.

05

等待核实与遗产管理书核发Await verification & grant issuance

处理时间约4至12个月,视文件齐全度及资产复杂程度而定;核发遗产管理书后才能进行下一步。Processing typically takes 4–12 months depending on documentation and asset complexity, before a grant is issued.

06

按法定顺序分配资产Distribute assets per statutory order

资产依据《1958年分配法令》第6条分配给配偶、父母、子女等法定受益人,而非按死者生前意愿分配。Assets are distributed to statutory beneficiaries (spouse, parents, children) under Section 6 of the Act — not according to the deceased's personal wishes.

没立遗嘱的家庭,都经历了什么What families without a will actually go through

案例分享Case

父亲没留遗嘱,孩子花两个月比价律师费No will left behind — two months spent comparing lawyer fees

一名男子的父亲身故后未留遗嘱,家属被转介到 Amanah Raya 处理地契转名,报价为产业价值的2.2%。家属之后另外询问两名律师,收费与所需程序都不相同,前后花了两个多月才厘清该走哪条路,也曾被提醒 Amanah Raya 处理速度可能较慢。After a father passed without a will, the family was referred to Amanah Raya for a land title transfer, quoted at 2.2% of the property value. Comparing two other lawyers took over two months, with differing fees and procedures — and a caution that Amanah Raya's process can run slower.

官方数据Official data

全国每年约RM60亿遗产待处理~RM6 billion in estates processed nationally each year

公共信托局管理层受访指出,国内累积约RM65亿资产因欠缺遗产规划而无法顺利交由继承人,主因包括继承人无法呈交所需文件、资产拥有人生前没有做好遗产规划或信托安排。部分案例甚至涉及数十年前身故的死者,遗产至今仍未解决。AmanahRaya's management noted around RM6.5 billion in assets nationwide remain undistributed due to missing planning, largely because heirs can't produce required documents, or the deceased never arranged a will or trust — some cases involve deaths decades old that are still unresolved.

专业建议Professional view

遗产超过RM200万,律师收费未必比Amanah Raya贵Above RM2 million, a lawyer may cost less than Amanah Raya

律师事务所在其分享中提醒,受益人可选择透过私人律师向法庭申请遗产管理书,也可透过 Amanah Raya 办理;遗产总值较高时,Amanah Raya 的百分比收费可能比律师收费更高,建议受益人在处理前先比较双方收费、处理速度与服务素质。A law firm's public guidance notes beneficiaries can go through a private lawyer for a court-issued Letter of Administration, or through Amanah Raya — and for larger estates, Amanah Raya's percentage-based fee can end up costlier than a lawyer's, so comparing both routes first is worthwhile.
