2. Use of This Website

This website is provided for general informational purposes relating to our firm and the services we offer. It does not constitute legal advice, and nothing contained on this site should be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal counsel specific to your circumstances.

By accessing this website, you agree to use it only for lawful purposes. You must not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its underlying systems.
• Transmit any material that is unlawful, offensive, or harmful to third parties.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the website for conduct that we reasonably consider to be in breach of these terms or applicable law.

3. No Lawyer-Client Relationship

Visiting this website and submitting an enquiry through our contact form does not create a lawyer-client relationship between you and Amanah. A lawyer-client relationship is only formed when we have issued and you have accepted a written engagement letter, and when we have confirmed in writing that we are able to act for you.

Until that point, no legal advice is given, no obligation is owed by either party, and all communications remain exploratory.

4. Our Services

We offer the following legal services, which are described in greater detail on our Solutions page:

• Trust Drafting and Settlement — preparation of family trust instruments under Malaysian law.
• Inheritance Dispute Counsel — legal representation and advice in estate disputes.
• Beneficiary Letter Drafting — preparation of formal correspondence in relation to estate distributions.

The scope, fee, and timeline for any engagement will be set out in a written engagement letter specific to your matter. Fees stated on our website represent indicative starting figures and may vary depending on the complexity of the matter.

5. Fees and Payment

Fees for our legal services are set out in the engagement letter issued at the commencement of each matter. The following general terms apply:

• Fees are quoted in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and are inclusive of the firm's professional charges unless otherwise stated.
• Disbursements — including filing fees, stamp duty, courier charges, and other out-of-pocket expenses — are charged separately and will be set out in invoices as they arise.
• Invoices are payable within fourteen (14) days of issue unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• We may require a deposit before commencing work on a matter. This will be credited against the final invoice.
• If a matter is concluded or terminated before completion, fees will be calculated on a fair basis reflecting the work undertaken.

6. Confidentiality

All information you share with us in the course of seeking or receiving legal advice is treated as strictly confidential. We will not disclose your information to any third party without your consent, except as required by law, by our professional obligations, or as described in our Privacy Policy.

Information shared in connection with legal advice may also be protected by legal professional privilege, which means it is ordinarily shielded from disclosure in legal proceedings. We will not waive privilege without your express written consent.
