INNOVATIVE LAWYERING
Beatrice Yeo always goes above and beyond, making sure her clients receive the best service while they are in the midst of family issues like divorce and separation. She introduced the notion for fixed fee legal costs for her clients to provide peace of mind with regards to the legal fees payable. She sees this as a form of encouragement to fight for justice and fairness at a fixed price rather than choosing to give up the fight due to high legal fees.
Innovative Lawyering to add on-Leveraging our rich experience and the latest advancements in legal technology, we offer proactive and affordable assistance to our clients in the form of (“Do-it Yourself”) DIY Uncontested Simplified Divorce Platform at www.divorcebureau.com.sg which allows users to file friendly divorce applications at the comfort of their homes.
Probate and Letters of Administration
Probate & Administration
If the deceased left behind a valid Will, the Will would specify a person to be appointed as the executor. The executor would need to apply or a Grant of Probate to carry out the instructions of the person who made the Will.
If the deceased died without a Will, someone (usually the next-of-kin) would have to apply to the Court for a Grant of Letters of Administration. This is so that they can be appointed by the Court as an administrator to administer the distribution of the deceased’s estate.

Lasting Power of Attorney
A LPA is a legal instrument which allows a person (the “donor”) to delegate authority to another person called the “donee” to manage his/her personal welfare and/or property and affairs in the event that the donor loses his/her mental capacity. Yeo & Associates LLC is named by the Office of Public Guardian office in its website msf.gov.sg as one of the Ten (10) Most Visited Certificate Issuers.

Will
A Will becomes effective only when the person making the Will (the “testator/testatrix”) has passed away. The testator/testatrix may appoint one or more persons (the “executor(s)”) to distribute the estate in accordance to his/her wishes and intentions.
Yeo & Associates LLC charges a flat fee of S$250 for Basic Will.
