A practice shaped by focus, precision, and a genuine understanding of what estate planning means for the people it protects.
Return to HomeWhat working with us looks like
Focused Practice
We practice only in estate planning. That concentration brings depth of knowledge and consistent quality that a broader generalist firm cannot replicate in this specific area.
Transparent Fee Structure
Fees are agreed in writing before work begins. Will drafting from S$170, trust formation from S$360, and LPA preparation from S$640 — with no additional charges beyond what is agreed.
Direct Client Relationships
Clients work directly with a qualified practitioner, not a junior staff member. Questions are answered by the person drafting your documents.
Singapore-Specific Knowledge
Singapore's estate planning framework — including CPF nominations, the Muslim law intestacy exceptions, and OPG registration — is handled with practical experience, not theoretical familiarity.
Responsive Timelines
Most wills are ready for execution within one to two weeks. LPA preparation and OPG submission are managed on your behalf to avoid delays. We communicate progress at each stage.
Sensitive Handling
Estate planning touches on mortality, family relationships, and personal finances. We approach these conversations with appropriate care and without unnecessary formality.
Practitioner-level knowledge in estate law
Our practitioners have spent years working within Singapore's estate planning framework. That experience encompasses the interaction between wills and CPF nominations, the tax and succession considerations relevant to different asset classes, and the practical realities of trust administration.
We keep current with changes in Singapore legislation and OPG practice requirements so that our clients receive advice that reflects the current position of the law.
Communication that does not require chasing
A common frustration with legal matters is the difficulty of reaching one's lawyer for a simple update. We handle a contained number of matters at any one time, which means practitioners are accessible and able to respond within a working day.
Estate planning discussions sometimes need to happen outside regular office hours. We accommodate evening and Saturday appointments for clients who cannot take time away from work.
Fair pricing for professional legal work
Lalang Counsel's fees reflect the level of legal work involved and are priced to be accessible without compromising on quality. A will properly drafted by a qualified lawyer costs considerably less than the complications a poorly-drafted document can create.
There are no consultation fees for initial enquiries, and no surprises beyond the agreed fee. Couples and families with multiple matters may discuss combined pricing with us.
Focused practice vs general firm
Estate planning is often offered as a minor add-on service by general practice firms. It benefits from dedicated attention.

What you will not find elsewhere
Estate-only focus since founding
Lalang Counsel has never offered services outside estate planning. That discipline means the firm's knowledge base, processes, and client relationships are all oriented around this single area of practice.
Whole-family estate planning
When a couple or family engages us together, we consider the full picture — how each member's documents interact, whether beneficiary designations are consistent, and whether the overall plan achieves the family's intentions.
Document review as circumstances change
We encourage clients to return when circumstances change — a marriage, new child, property purchase, or change in financial position. We offer document reviews for returning clients at reduced rates.
Plain-language client communication
Legal documents use legal language. Our client communications do not. We make sure every client understands what they are signing and why, before the pen meets the paper.
