Dear jeffer2881,
Do you mind to give me your valuale advice on the following matter?
My grandfather had passed away six years ago. According to his self-made will, his properties would be distributed to six of his sons. Eight of his daughters will not get a share. In this self-made will, my grandfather had put his signature on it, so did his six sons (beneficiaries). No signatures from his daughter, though. As well, no other withnesses. However, immediately after my grandfather had passed away, one of his sons, i.e. my 3rd uncle, declined to agree with the will.
Due to his refusal to accept the will, all my grandfather’s properties, at the moment are still under my grandfather’s name. However, as my 3rd uncle is the one who manages the plantation and the company, he took all the incomes without sharing with the shareholders. Before the demise of my father (who is the elder brother of my 3rd uncle), my father can raise some voice to his style of management. Unfortunately, my father, had also passed away, in June last year.
According to my father’s will which is certified by a lawyer, I am the executor. I wish to get back what belongs to us (my sister, my brother and I) and therefore I went to discuss with my 3rd uncle. However, he told me that I am the nephew, and I have no right to ask for anything.
Personally, I feel, the only good way now is to make my grandfather’s self-made will valid in the eye of Malaysian law. But, I only have the photocopied will, the will is written in Chinese and the will have only signatures from my grandfather and six sons who are the beneficiaries. No witness's signature. In your opinion, is it possible? Else, is there any good solution to what I am currently facing?
Appreciated if you can give any idea or solution. Thank you so much.
