Estate planning is all about ensuring one’s wishes/desires regarding one’s assets are implemented in the most expeditious and cost-effective manner... Estate planning is not something that should only be considered by wealthy or retired people, no matter how substantial or modest one’s assets and property may be, without proper planning, passing them on can lead to complications, disputes and impose large costs on the estate.

Our Services Includes

1. ESTATE AUDIT: This is a comprehensive audit of one’s estate to ensure that on the demise of an individual his/her assets will pass on in a smooth and efficient manner to one’s intended beneficiaries. Our Estate Planning Professionals will look carefully at the individual circumstances, objectives and asset profile and based on their assessment, provide the appropriate advice and solutions necessary to ensure the assets will be passed on to intended beneficiaries in hassle-free way.

2. WILL WRITING AND RELATED SERVICES: The idea about writing a will can give rise to the morbid thought of death and hence the financial advisors tend to hesitate about discussing this very important subject with their clients. Our members will have access to various articles and other material which could be effectively used by them to create awareness about the need and importance of writing a will and other value-added services which the clients could avail of to safeguard the future of their loved ones. Our comprehensive range of will writing services and solutions include will drafting, will validation, safe keeping, registration of wills, probates and executorship services.

3. TRUSTS & RELATED SERVICES: Globally, private trusts are widely used as an effective tool for estate and succession planning. Many families set up private family trusts for smooth inter- generation transfer of wealth. NexGen can helps clients create trusts and also provide professional trusteeship services.

   The broad scope of work for trusteeship service:

   1. Managing and administering assets under the trust
   2. Keeping books and accounts
   3. Administering investments
   4. Acting in the best interests of the beneficiaries
   5. Implementing the directions of the settlor
   6. Distributing assets to the beneficiaries in the manner provided by the settlor

4. TRUST FOR MINOR/SPECIAL CHILD PROTECTION:A unique trust product to safeguard the interest of a minor/special child on death of his/her parent(s). Very often, the wealth/assets left behind by the parent(s) for the minor child(ren) are misused/mismanaged by the relatives/guardian. Our robust trust structure, combined with the discipline, integrity and strong value system guarantees complete financial security of the child(ren), and peace of mind for the parents.

5. BEREAVEMENT ADVICE: Has a client died without a will and the family is clueless as to whom to approach for help? Or is the executor of the client’s will looking for help in performing his/her obligations? We at NexGen understand that at such a difficult time, it can be overwhelming for those who are left behind to deal with the legal processes to settle the deceased’s estate.

   We support such families/executor by providing assistance and guidance on what to do when someone dies by:

   1. Establishing the existence and validity of a will
   2. Requirements for statutory notices and the Probate process
   3. Establishing beneficiaries and inheritance rights
   4. Distribution of property and assets to the correct beneficiaries at the correct time

6. POWER OF ATTORNEY (POA) SERVICES: When a person is unable to look after his/her own affairs, he/she generally wants those closest to them to manage the affairs on his/her behalf. POA is a legal document that lets a person (the ‘donor’) appoint people (known as ‘attorneys’) to make decisions on his/her behalf in such a situation. We offer a complete package including drafting of the PoA, safe keeping and verification of “trigger events” before hand-over of PoA to the attorney to prevent possible misuse.
