Our Family & Legacy Practice advises individuals, families, and private stakeholders on family, matrimonial, child, and succession matters involving Malaysia and cross-border elements.
 

The practice focuses on matters arising from international marriages, overseas residence, foreign-national spouses or children, and estates with assets or beneficiaries across jurisdictions, where questions of applicable law, including Shariah law considerations, forum, and enforceability arise in practice.
 

We act across the full lifecycle of family and succession matters, ranging from pre-emptive structuring and negotiated family arrangements to contentious matrimonial, custody, and estate proceedings. Our work frequently involves issues of jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of foreign orders, cross-border asset tracing, and the coordination of proceedings before both civil and Shariah forums.
 

Matters involving Islamic matrimonial proceedings or inheritance law are managed in collaboration with our strategic Shariah law partner, Saiyidah Izzati Nur & Partners, ensuring that issues relating to Muslim family law, faraid distribution, hibah, waqf, and Shariah-compliant estate planning are addressed with doctrinal accuracy and procedural integrity.

 

Our approach is strategic and structural. We focus not only on resolving immediate disputes, but on preserving family continuity, protecting vulnerable parties, and ensuring that outcomes, whether negotiated or court-ordered, are enforceable, coherent, and aligned with long-term legacy considerations.
