A professional estate planning company providing bespoke and personal services, from Funeral Pre- Planning to Will Writing to ensure that you and your assets are adequately taken care of, whether in life or in death.
We have different journeys in life, but our destination is all the same. While we plan for every milestone of our life, celebrations and retirement, why do we not plan for the final and most important chapter of our lives? Pre-planning of funeral arrangements has become less taboo in recent years. Not only does it give you the power to choose what you want for your farewell, at the same time it also offers a complete peace of mind for your family. Write your own legacy that you want to live behind. TLC Pre-planning team in Singapore will help you plan based on your preferences from Will Writing, setting up a Trust to designing a funeral or memorial service that is a reflection of your personality so that we can deliver the farewell that you deserve. Pre-planning also lets your loved ones learn about your preferred final resting place, from a sea burial to having your ashes scattered on land. |
Funeral Pre-Planning
|
While death is a difficult subject, we will all inevitably reach the end. We plan for every milestone of our life, celebrations and retirement. Why do we not set the stage for the last milestone of our lives?
Funeral pre-planning or funeral pre-arrangement is no longer a topic we avoid. Many have found merits of preparing themselves and their loves ones for this stage of their lives, and we believe you will too. |

Living Will
Advance Care Planning
|
Planning for your health and personal care. Have conversations with your family.
This usually goes hand in hand with Lasting Power of Attorney. When donees are appointed, they will need to know the donor’s lifestyle, preferences, medical history, etc, in order to take better care of them. This is an initiative by the Agency of Integrated Care, enabling clients to document down their preferences, lifestyle, preferences, medical history, and most important - care wishes. For instance, in the event of a disability or illness, Advance Care Planning helps their caretakers understand the means of treatment they would prefer. This gives them a peace of mind that their wishes will be adhered to, and makes it easier for their care-takers without having to second-guess on the client’s preferences. |
Advance Medical Directive |
''Do Not Resuscitate Me''
AMD is a legal document which is governed by the Ministry of Health. Clients give their written consent in advance, to not proceed with life sustaining treatment, in the event they fall into a coma or become terminally-ill. This gives the client a peace of mind that their family members know what to do in the event they are in a coma or become terminally-ill. It also eases the burden on family members, and relieves any guilt. |
Lasting Power of Attorney |
When you lose your mental capacity, who makes the decisions on your behalf?
LPA is a legal document that is drawn up appointing donees to act for the clients if they lose mental capacity. This is an initiative by the Office of the Public Guardian under the Ministry of Social Development and Family (MSF). Preparing the Lasting Power of Attorney is a very important process because without an LPA, family members will have to undergo a long, tedious and expensive process to apply to be a court deputy if their family members lose mental capacity. This allows the donee and donees to have a peace of mind as well as an easy, more affordable procedure to apply for, should the inevitable happen. |
Death
Pre-Planning |
Arranging your own funeral in advance to minimise the burden of your family.
In Singapore, we are starting to see a trend in people taking up Pre-planning, so that they can direct their own funeral preferences before they pass on, and ease the financial and emotional burdens of their loved ones. Funeral pre-planning lets clients choose their preferred types of funeral ceremonies to be held, clothes to wear on funeral day, music to be played during their wake, and even food to be served, etc. It gives the client control over how they wish for their lives to be presented during their last journey on earth, and is a powerful gift to their loved ones. |
Emotional Will |
Your legacy can live on forever with voice/video recordings or letters.
This is a powerful form of Will, because it conveys the client’s last words to their loved ones. We can guide you in preparing an Emotional Will by writing a letter, translating your feelings into a drawing, preparing a video or audio recording with your heartfelt messages. |
Grant of Probate
|
When the court issues probate, it confers authority to the Executor or Trustee to deal with the deceased’s estate.
This is the Court Order your loved ones can apply for so that your Executors or Administrators can administer your estate when when pass on. While a Will states the wishes of the Testator (“the client”)”, it does not carry the power for the Executor / administer to be able to obtain monies from the clients’ bank accounts, insurance policies after the client passes on. The respective executors / administers need to apply for a Grant of Probate or Grant of Letter of Administration (if the client did not leave behind a will) in order to do so. We assist in the application of this court order as part of our service. |
Digital Will |
Do you know what happens to your digital assets when you pass?
In this digitalised age, most of us own multiple digital assets such as social accounts from various social media accounts and digital currencies on multiple platforms. In most cases, it is difficult to retrieve access to them, for one due to the sheer amount of accounts we might have. Let TLC assist you in sorting them out by writing up a Digital Will for you so you can rest assured your digital assets are terminated or made accessible when the time comes. |
