Will / Testament Documentation
Estate planning in Indonesia is governed by dual legal frameworks—the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) for foreign nationals and non-Muslim citizens, and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) for Muslim citizens. Executing an official Notarial Will (Akta Wasiat) ensures that foreign-held assets, Indonesian leaseholds, PT PMA shares, and domestic bank accounts are inherited according to your express wishes.
Under Indonesian law, a testamentary will must be formally registered in the Central Will Registry (Daftar Pusat Wasiat) operated by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (AHU Kemenkumham) in Jakarta to hold legal validity and preempt conflicting probate litigation.
Our estate planning advocates craft legally enforceable, bilingual testamentary instruments that harmonize international inheritance objectives with Indonesian forced heirship and property laws. We register your will with the central AHU repository and provide probate execution support for your designated beneficiaries.
