My wife was a Singapore National with permanent residence status in the UK. When she passed away it was necessary to obtain probate both in the UK but also for assets she retained in Singapore. I first contacted PKWA Law when I brought her ashes home to Singapore. They were very helpful and recommended that Probate be first granted in the UK and then submitted by them for resealing in Singapore. This is what happened and it was possible to deal with the whole transaction remotely from the UK. This was because Christina from PKWA was very clear as to what was required and I was able to use a Notary Public in the UK when documents and signatures needed to be certified.Christina was able to ensure that the whole process proceeded without a hitch and in a timely manner.

We want to thank Charlene, Jason and their team for their assistance in settling and closing my brother's divorce case.The entire divorce process was truly an emotionally tiring journey for my brother and his children. We must admit that we were shocked by certain requests and accusations of the other party. At time we found it difficult to understand the legal aspects as a layman. But Charlene and team were there for us. Though the outcome may not have been what we initially hoped for, their efforts in navigating the situation and legal guidance were invaluable. We are relieved that this chapter is now behind and my brother can move forward separately.Once again, thank you for the support and legal expertise during this challenging time.
