Document background
The Letter of Nomination of Executor serves as a crucial estate planning document in Malaysia, providing clear designation of who will handle one's estate affairs after death. This document becomes particularly important in the Malaysian legal context where estate administration must comply with the Probate and Administration Act 1959 and related legislation. The letter typically includes detailed identification of all parties, clear expression of the nominator's intentions, and specific powers granted to the executor. It should be prepared while the nominator is of sound mind and should be properly witnessed according to Malaysian legal requirements. The document can be used alongside a will or as a standalone document, though it's often recommended to be incorporated into comprehensive estate planning.
