RE: ORDER FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION – SHAH ALAM COURT

Dear Members Of the Bar,


We have been informed by Shah Alam High Court the following:-

1. it is the requirement of the Employee Provident Fund (“EPF”) that in order for the Administrator of the Estate of the deceased to withdraw the deceased’s fund from EPF, an Order of Court to the effect must be
enclosed to EPF;

2. hence to assist Administrators to withdraw the deceased’s fund without unnecessarily having bureaucratic difficulties, the Shah Alam Court, with effect from 1st June 2014, have requested Members to file for an Order to the effect that the Administrator is allowed to withdraw the deceased’s funds from EPF, once the Order is granted by the Court on the application for a Letters of Administration.

On a separate note, for the application of grant of Probate or Letters Of Administration, Members are reminded to complete the list of liability of the estate of the deceased and if there is no liability, then a remark is to be inserted as “TIADA”.

Thank you,

VISHNU KUMAR
