I recently engaged Yuen Law to help me with a personal matter related to my newborn after being recommended to them via a friend who works in the field. As a pragmatic person, I needed someone who combined expertise, empathy and speed to get through a complex international structure without adding unnecessary complexity. Fung Peen and his team did just that – they took the time to understand my personal circumstance, and with no judgement, proceeded to advise quickly and systemically.

The way the team worked – clear responses to my questions, very good document management and tabling of document changes for easy review – really helped me understand Singapore law, my rights and make the best decisions for next steps.

Done mostly over zoom and email, I enjoyed meeting the team in person to close the matter and would highly recommend Yuen Law as a local firm with international understanding & experience for anything family matters related.

Peta Latimer,

Hands down the best team of lawyers you can ever work with. Not only were they understanding, they always answered my endless phone calls and constantly reassured me that we will get through this difficult time together.

Both Fung Peen and Kaysha have been nothing but sweet and sincere. You guys have gone above and beyond 🙂 Thank you!

Michelle,

When my sister passed away, I needed advice about settling her estate, and I needed a lawyer to represent me to acquire the Grant of Probate.

I was really lost about matters here in Singapore, as I reside in Malaysia.

I noticed Lim Fung Peen was my late sister’s friend, and he was also recommended by someone else. So I got in touch.

He and his team ~ Lui Si Xuan, Bernice, Kaysha, Ken, and Hong Huey were such a wonderful combination! They were very kind and understanding; often explaining to me simple things patiently, and in an empowering way. They came through for me during this time of loss and grief, by taking some burdens off my shoulders. They went the extra mile to even explain things that did not pertain directly to getting the Grant of Probate.

I will highly recommend Yuen Law LLC to anyone who needs wise counsel, patient understanding, and efficient follow-through.

A special shout out to Mr. Lim Fung Peen who gave me assurance and how to go about things; to Lui Si Xuan who spent many moments following through my case and patiently explaining every step to me; and to their newest recruit Hong Huei who was an intern then. She was always at hand to support and take my questions, and bring me back the answers.

I am very very thankful to this team at Yuen Law who went above and beyond to serve and help me.

Annette,

I went with Yuen Law.

I was briefed on the professional fees and estimated disbursements for a Grant of Probate for an estate of this complexity.

Eventually, I paid almost S$2,000 in total (professional, court and miscellaneous fees).

I exchanged money for professional competence and time I did not have, and Yuen Law delivered.

What stood out was their clear communication about the following:

1. What documents and attention do I need to get ready?
2. How is the full process like
3. What will come next
4. What have they done
Besides the technical sophistication, I do find that having clear communication, being personal and having good bedside manners to be important enough in the partners you choose.

Kyith Ng,
